What's My Line? - ALL Correct Free Guesses! [CLIPS VIDEO]

Since this comes up all the time in discussion, I thought it would be a good idea to put together a video of all the times a panelist correctly got a contestant's line during the free guesses. So here's every (surviving) instance of a correct free guess before the questioning started!

Note that there were actually 3 more correct free guesses than we have available to see today, as they took place in very early episodes considered to be lost. This video contains the 6 instances that do survive. It's small wonder that the free guesses were dispensed with, considering they could torpedo an entire round before it even started. The wonder is that it took until April, 1955 for the producers to make the change! If there's any plus side to this, it's that it granted John Daly the opportunity to wax eloquent to fill the program time.

With many thanks to Suzanne Astorino for compiling the information on the correct free guesses, not to mention everything else WML-related, direct from producer Gil Fates's production notes. The voluminous and unbelievably detailed episode log can be found at tv.com.
