Consider Tom Poston. Funny guy. His expansive television career covered the better part of five decades -- from Steve Allen's "Tonight Show" to "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody." He contributed his comedic talents to made-for-TV movies to variety programs to situation comedies to talk shows to voice-overs for cartoons. When Mel Brooks first submitted his idea for the sitcom "Get Smart" to the ABC network, ABC wanted Poston for the lead role of Maxwell Smart, which is a pretty good idea. He earned exactly one Emmy Award, but should have earned a second one for his work in "Newhart."

Tom Poston as Maxwell Smart would, of course, have been a completely different "Get Smart", possibly as good, but I tend to doubt it. It's hard for me to imagine anyone else in a role so owned by the actor who played him as Don Adams did Maxwell Smart. I can't picture Poston doing the physical humor Don Adams excelled at, an element which wasn't strongly present when the series first started but was emphasized more and more when the writers and producers caught on to how much it added to the show. It's similar to the way Inspector Clouseau's clumsiness and indecipherable accent became exaggerated about halfway through the second Clouseau film, "A Shot in the Dark"..(Clouseau being another role so owned by its actor, Peter Sellers, I can't picture anyone else in the part. The Steve Martin films don't exist as far as I'm concerned!)

Don Adams' clipped speech patterns saying his handful of stock phrases ("Sorry about that chief" "Missed by that much" and so on) also were a huge part of the character, something that Tom Poston could not have brought to the show. Of course, Adams was basically playing the same character he played on the Bill Dana Show (Glick, the Hotel Detective), on Dickey's slacks commercials (this time as Freebish, talking to Glick on the phone) and as the voice of Inspector Gadget. Adams also did great double takes, like the one he did when Barbara Feldon reassured him, "You're twice the agent 43 is, 86." Oh Max!

To fool the panel, Marilyn should have changed her appearance and toned down her natural exuberance. Found this from a 2009 interview: "If you're a Howdy Doody fan, you might know her better as Marilyn Patch, who played Doodyville schoolteacher "Happy Harmony" on "The New Howdy Doody Show" for 130 episodes back in '76." (She was also on with Buffalo Bob.) "Dr. Marilyn Arnone has been doing her part to educate kids in entertaining ways ever since she hosted her own children's show called "Marilyn and Calico" at the age of eleven. Dr. Arnone is a Harvard grad with a PHd who is currently the director of educational media for Syracuse University's Center for Digital Literacy, in addition to being co-founder and president of Creative Media Solutions."

Gingold was asked by Russell Harty "How does your cat masticate?" And she gave him a look & said with a twinkle in her eye "Very Carefully!" She was once playing a maid who was supposed to come on stage pushing a drinks trolley to a couple on a love seat. She may have had a nip of something herself. The trolley came on first, skidded across the stage & ended up in the Orchestra Pit. Her distinctive voice was heard from rhe wings saying "The train approaching Platform 1 (Hiccup!) Is going to be late!"

I was just a bit weirded out by the very pretty Miss Patch. Perhaps this was a performance and that was her style. But it reminded me of "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane" in that she acted and dressed in a manner more befitting the 1920's rather than 1963. Was she dressed for show or what? A 12 year old girl wouldn't have that hair style and be dressed like that normally, then, would she?

The Mark IV cameras would also be used on that historic night The Beatles performed on Ed Sullivan on February 9, 1964. WML would continue to use the Mark IV cameras, until September 1966. By that time, they would now be using Phillips PC-60. They were the ones with the Green, Blue, Red, and Yellow CBS Color stickers on the cameras.

Brace yourself: the full title of Hermoine's flop was " Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad: A Pseudoclassical Tragifarce in a Bastard French Tradition." What's left to do on the stage. Arthur L. Kopit 's sort of funny sort of tragic play opened off-Broadway in 1962 and moved to the Morosco Theatre for 47 performances on Broadway in 1963. Hermione portrayed "Madame Rosepettle" and an early Sam Waterston portrayed her son. The film version of this thing noted in its ads that "It does for mothers what "Moby Dick" did for whales." Somehow I doubt it.

I think she felt bad about it afterwards -- it looked/sounded like she was kind of apologizing to her when they shook hands at the end of the segment. Nice that John broke from his usual "no performance" policy and let Marilyn sing a song. I read the comment above by +ta2686, which mentions Marilyn Patch's later work and was glad to know that she went on to have a successful career in both media and education.

SuperWinterborn It's also an interesting coincidence to me that I have stumbled across so much information about little Marilyn's adult career so soon after we played our own little guessing game about my line -- and so soon after my return to work from summer vacation as well. I have now followed up on a number of articles, interviews, and other informational sources about Professor Marilyn Arnone, which have been kindly linked by other commenters in various threads on this page. Her work is very relevant to my own profession as a school librarian, and I'm likely to be looking into it further when I have a chance. As for Dr. Spock, his baby and childcare book was the most popular and oft-quoted reference source for parents when I was growing up. I referred to an updated edition of it often when my own kids were babies and small children as well. I have to admit that I'm not aware of the type of controversial, "hair-raising" advice by him that you mentioned. He always seemed pretty sensible to me in terms of medical stuff. I can't say I ever really referred to his book for psychological advice and don't know if my parents did either, so maybe that's why I'm in the dark about that.

Like my aunt, who *never* picked up the baby when it was crying, unless it was mealtime.

I am convinced that either she was a robot of some sort created to appear as the "perfect" child or she's a puppet who magically came to life (let's hope she didn't turn out to be evil and rebel against the human race that created her in either case). You know, honestly, she was just trying a bit too hard to be sort of like Shirley Temple but without Shirley's natural charm. The way John repeats "we wish we had it, but we ain't" cracked me up. Sounds like a humdinger of a song. And it didn't seem at all like her parents were using her in order to possibly improve their songwriting careers at all...it's not like it seems they were hoping a major network might want her for a show so their music would reach a national level of attention. I'm not being cynical at all, I just, you know, got a certain vibe when she was speaking. She didn't really hesitate to sing either.

Johnny Olsen was one of the all time great announcers. However one could not say he had a resonant timberous voice of some like Tony Marvin (of Arthur Godfrey's Show) or Don Pardo (of many game shows) but he had a clear very pleasing sound. One that earned him a fortune. However, and maybe I notice this as one who was in radio for many years, there are times when he has a deeper, richer, quality to his voice. I think lots of men can identify with this as "morning voice", the kind of voice that when you wake up in the morning makes you think you have the pipes to be a great announcer. I think tonight, Johnny had somewhat of a morning voice. By the way, and I've brought this up before, did anyone EVER just once say "thanks Johnny"?

I've always been somewhat baffled by some of the voices who made it big as announcers. Some of the really big ones didn't have what I'd consider "announcer's voices" at all. George Fenneman had what I think of as an announcer's voice. But Bill Goodwin? Especially Bill Goodwin! Harry Von Zell, also, had a very pleasant voice and was a talented comic actor, but lacked the rich, full sound I associate with an announcer's voice. Even Don Wilson, who did have a deep, resonant vocal quality, is far from what I'd consider the classic sound of a announcer. I think the less well known an announcer was, the more generically typical their voices had to be.
@MrJoeybabe25
10 жыл бұрын
There were other qualities that a man (at that time it was just men) could bring to the announcer's audition rather than just resonant vocal quality. That by itself got you into the door, and no one I ever knew in radio would not have sold their soul for a John Daly or Tony Marvin set of pipes. But, especially later on, other criteria became as important as that and could be more important if one was gifted otherwise. Good timing in reading commercials, cheerfulness, clarity of speech, authoritativeness and other qualities that someone like Johnny possessed could make up for a lack of resonance, and a deep throated sound.

Joe Postove All very true. But now explain Bill Goodwin. :) I never could stand Bill Goodwin-- not his voice, his manner, his acting chops, nor the character he played as announcer for Burns and Allen for 10 years (he portrayed an arrogant playboy whom women fell over themselves to date, despite the fact that he was average-looking at best). What really amazes me is how often he botched the actual commercial copy on the live B&A TV shows. Not full blown bloopers, or anything, but regularly flubbed words, stuttering, and bland delivery. If there's one quality you'd expect an announcer to have, it would be the ability to read a commercial smoothly! I'm just glad Harry Von Zell replaced him starting in the second season of the TV show. I have a rare video of an old "Tomorrow" show with Tom Snyder circa 1978 where his guests are Von Zell, Fenneman, and Don Wilson (and a 4th guy who I don't know so I can't recall his name-- I think he was more of a local LA announcer-type). If you'd like to see it, send me a private message and we'll arrange something. I have no plans on posting it to KZitem any time soon, because it belongs on the Vintage Comedy Vault channel and I cant post anything there until the copyright strikes on that channel clear (if they ever do).

What's My Line? Goodwin was better on radio for Burns And Allen because he could more easily put down George. The problem was that he couldn't play the same character on TV because as you said, he didn't match his radio image at all and couldn't do the spots he'd been accustomed to on radio.
