2/2/50   [B]Phil Rizzuto [/B]Phil had not yet begun his MVP season. He also appeared on the syndicated WML in 2/5/70, which is also on U-Tube and discusses having been the first mystery guest 20 years before. Phil was also a panelist on WML three times: look for: William Bendix and also Jacques Cousteau, (9/16/56), Sal Maglie (10/7/56) and Robert Sterling and Anne Jeffries, (7/28/57).

This was the first ever episode of WML as, as such, is rather clunky. The only panelist to survive beyond the early episodes was Dorothy Kilgallen. Governor Hoffman turned out to be a crook and died of a heart attack after an embezzlement scheme was uncovered. Professor Untermeyer was blacklisted. Dr. Hoffman went back to his practice. Believe me the show got better than this as it progressed. This premiere episode is more of a curio than a classic to WML fans. Phil enters at the 23 minute mark and they hardly have time for him. He would go on to be AL MVP that year.
