Video ~ What's My Line Eppy-sode

A kinescope of Brian Epstein's 1964 appearance on What's My Line[/i][/u][/url]

John Charles Daly hosts Mystery Guest "Mr X" on this episode, before Brian was very well-known in the U.S. ~~~

~~~However, they guessed him with only one round (4 panelists, and Paul Anka was obliged to excuse himself because he recognized him)!

Embarrassing moment: Daly introduces him as "Barry" Epstein.

Also, probably due to Brian's soft-spoken personality, Daly tended to over-talk, and Brian was unable to get a word in edgewise. *sigh*

Eppylover wonders:
Did Brian feel any strange flashbacks over being called "Mr X" ~ ? ~ because that was his pseudonym during his extremely traumatic (pre-Beatles) trial against a gay blackmailer (as written in Brian's own private diaries, and referred to in Debbie Geller's The Brian Epstein Story).

Hadn't seen this one yet; although I remember reading about it in one of your articles. You can hear our Eppy mutter "Brian," when Daly calls him, "Barry" by mistake. HELLO! What an egotistical host. The panel seemed to be charmed by Bri. & equally delighted with "The Boys." Wish I were there. Great selections on the screen shots: he's cute & charming as always. ;D
