"Give me one yes, sir. A girl tries so hard to get a yes from a fellow", that one killed me. 🙂

Wow at this point in time, polio hadn’t yet been eradicated. It was less than a year later - on April 12, 1955 that the polio vaccine was announced to be safe and effective.

I was only familiar with Johnnie Ray from Billy Joel 's We Didn't Start the Fire. Interesting to see who he really was

Ray was creepy. It's funny those days were supposed to be so proper & there was Kilgallen married to a Bisexual & having a child by a whatever Ray was.

When John asked Johnnie why he was in New York I half expected him to say "well John I'm here to see my kid"

Johnnie signs in with his left hand. On a later show he signs in with his right hand. Ambidextrous? Going both ways would be consistent with other things allegedly in his lifestyle. Great talent and apparently real nice guy in any case.

Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them?

Miss Debtwiler.... "my leather products were never alive"..... From a time Uncle Sam still had a thriving middle class , until Washington specialists decided it was a good thing to relocate the U.S. manufacturing base to Communist China ,where people still had no problems to manufacture our essentials under virtual slave labour conditions.

Didn't Johnnie Ray and Dorothy Kilgallen have a long-standing affair? I noticed that he wrote "Johnnie" on the board but the panel in front of him is "Johnny".

This is one of the best programs in the history of television. And I love the original commercials, too! The March of Dimes reference is very much current in mid-2022 with polio possibly making a comeback.

Arlene's mask is hilariously absurd.

At yuQX4FvFk7E&t=25m32s 25:32 John Charles Daly urged people to contribute to the March of Dimes emergency campaign. The emergency was that the organization was paying for the care of a large number of polio patients who got polio in 1954 and in previous years. On August 10, 1954, the organization revealed that it was $32 million in debt. On August 12, it stopped paying hospitals for the treatment of patients. The organization had spent $19 million that year on gamma globulin to prevent polio and $7.5 million on the Salk vaccine. The Salk vaccine field trial, under the direction of Thomas Francis, Jr., involved 1,873,483 children, who either got no injection, an injection with a placebo, or one or more injections with the polio vaccine. At 10 a.m. on April 12, 1955, the anniversary of the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the results of the trial were announced at the University of Michigan. The efficacy of the vaccine at preventing paralytic poliomyelitis was 70.0%.

It dawns on me that Dorothy Kilgallen gave birth to Johnnie Ray's son about five months prior to this appearance as the mystery guest there were no obvious clues to Dorothy's behavior. I don't know if Ray was ever informed that he was the father. I did read that Dorothy's husband, Richard Kollmar, disowned the child at some point after her death. In photos I've seen of that now grown child today there is a definite resemblance to Ray. Ray was said to be bisexual.

This was a time when a sponsor bought the entire commercial time.

Oh I think Johnnie Ray’s voice was best recognized by Dorothy ;) Funny he said Steve Allen would’ve recognized it over anyone else

Tony Bennett said Johnnie Ray (an Oregon native) invented Rock-n-roll. I don't know, I have to agree with Little Richard, ELVIS Presley invented Rock-n-roll!
