MYSTERY GUEST: Maureen O' Sullivan
PANEL: Arlene Francis, Steve Allen, Kitty Carlisle, Bennett Cerf

And now we enter the last phase of the WML on CBS, the shows following the loss of Dorothy Kilgallen.

No mincing of words: this is a difficult episode to watch. Despite the decision to go on with the show as usual (just as they did after Fred Allen's sudden death in 1956), there's a palpable pall cast over the entire program. The opening and closing are the only parts of the show where Dorothy's passing is addressed directly, but these brief moments are particularly wrenching.

The original commercials are again included, with footage from two sources in order to preserve as much as possible of the higher quality, edited copy.

Special thank you to Steve M. Russo for providing the bulk of this episode. Folks interested in high quality, well packaged, well-edited DVDs of WML and other panel game shows can contact him directly for more information at [email protected].

The usual many thanks to epaddon for providing his copy of this show with the commercials.
