I'ts hard to believe that Joan Fontaine, considered to be a distinguished actress, Oscar winner and all, appeared on game shows. I don't remember her doing so -- I was 13 when this aired, but I wouldn't have been watching TV on Christmas Day -- but there are several appearances now available, thank you, on YouTube. This game is not exactly riveting, particularly with all the Christmas clues making the answers too easy. Lewis was also better on other shows. So funny that they had to raise hands to let the host know they were ready back in the day.

I clicked on this for two reasons, I love Arlene Francis & I wanted to check the year. I was born 4 days after this aired.

“Get the Message” was done in the same West 58th Street theater as “The Dick Cavett Show.” The Elysee is long gone, but the firehouse across the street is still there with its attendant sirens that used to punctuate TV productions, once prompting a frustrated Cavett to say (paraphrasing), “Wouldn’t it be nice if we had an indoor studio?”

Even before the game starts, I'm smiling. It's so great to see these filmed-live and live-to-tape programs, the way TV was when I was young. If a technician had to cross behind Q, he just crouched and went for it ( A-8G_YSHvdk&t=0m32s 0:32 ). Nowadays, "portions of the show not affecting the outcome have been edited" or words to that effect, and so Alex Trebek and Pat Sajak are never shown making endearing gaffes nor do we see techies in the background. A little lack of perfection is enjoyable just because it's common to humanity.

I was curious if Ed Asner ever appeared on the television version of WML? I had heard he may have appeared on the radio version. Thank you.

According to Wikipedia, "an episode from May 1, 1964 with celebrity guests Ann Sothern, Nancy Dussault, Abe Burrows, Darryl Hickman is held by the UCLA Film and Television Archive as a 16mm kinescope recording."

Thanks for posting. I find all of these old game shows interesting, but I can see why this one didn't last too long. It's a little slow to develop. A bit of a Password knockoff

Do you have the episode of the show with Johnny Olson announcing?
