What's My Line? - Frank Gifford December 2nd 1956
Frank Gifford on "What's My Line?"
The first guest on the show signing in with "F. Newton Gifford", this was the season he was named the NFL's MVP for the 1956 season. Amazing that he could be on this show and not be immediately recognized, even though Dorothy had it and let it go before asking his first question. Even better is that Frank played in a game that day against the Washington Redskins.
