When I saw the opening, I thought for a brief moment "Wow! They're showing the full intro. Buzzr's had a change of heart." But no, the intro was shown because that's what was on the video cassette of the first guest. Oh well, at least we saw it for one show.
Having been to tapings of WML at NBC, I know there were three commercial breaks, one after each guest, or "spot." With Who's Who, they announced what prize those people won (also being cut) and went straight into the MG. During Blyden's run, WML taped mostly in Studio 8H, now home to Saturday Night Live.

Sure enough, we're back to the chopped opening of WML. Soupy Sales is good at guessing the MGs. Today he got Henry Gibson in less than a minute. Friday, he got Jack E. Leonard in about 10 seconds.
TTTT started a new week today (10/15) with guest panelist Orson Bean, who was a regular during the first season of this version. He's wearing glasses, which I never saw him do before, as far as I can remember.

Orson Bean with glasses isn't as out there as Orson Bean with long hair, as was seen two hours earlier on MG '76.

The new WML panel consists of Allen Ludden, Gail Sheldon, Soupy and Arlene, with Johnny O announcing. Gail was on Beat the Clock.
BillCullen1:
This week's guest panelist on TTTT is Joe Garagiola, who would go on to be the host. The new WML panel which started on Wednesday has Anita Gillette and Jack Cassidy joining Soupy and Arlene.
EDIT - Thursday's guest panelist on TTTT was James Narz, aka Tom Kennedy. IIRC, this was the one time he vas on. Garry introduced him as the host of Split Second. There's a blast from the past.
