Wardrobe Malfunction

Is the sentence detailing a supposed wardrobe malfunction of the article's subject really necessary? There's no page number listed for the citation and I don't see how it adds anything to the article. Moreover, I don't see anything indicating it was any kind of notable event. 8bitW (talk) 17:04, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to author Gabe Essoe in The Book of TV Lists,^[1] on one of the show's segments, her low-cut gown slipped and "she exposed her ample self coast to coast."^[2]

I'm retiring this passage, as I'm finding no reference in Newspapers.com; this was in an era when there were TV writers in hundreds of American newspapers, surely one of them would have commented.

The same Essoe book talks about Jayne Mansfield's breast being shown during the 1957 Academy Awards. According to our biography, A widespread rumor that Mansfield had a breast-flashing dress mishap at the 1957 Academy Awards was found baseless by Academy researchers.^[3]

I've not tried the veracity of the two other claims, Dagmar on Broadway Open House or Ina Ray Hutton on The Ina Ray Hutton Show, but I think it's fair to say that the burden of proof requires someone to find a reference to this incident not attributable to Essoe, before we even consider whether this is worth mentioning. -- Zanimum (talk) 04:14, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Faye Emerson Show

Your article appears to include contradictory information. The third paragraph describes The Faye Emerson Show as a late-night talk show. On the other hand, the tenth paragraph says that it aired immediately following The CBS Evening News' which would mean it aired earlier in the day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.14.231.47 (talk) 03:47, 30 July 2020 (UTC) [reply]

I have removed "because her time slot immediately followed the CBS Evening News and alternated weeknights with the popular The Perry Como Show" from the article because that material is not sourced. One citation at the end of the paragraph is no longer available, and the other does not mention Emerson or her program. On the other hand, this source specifies that the show was broadcast at 11 p.m. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:05, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Faye Emerson Show began airing on CBS on October 24, 1949 in local East Coast markets before the network moved the 15-minute show, which regularly aired up to 11pm, nationwide in March 1950? ....0mtwb9gd5wx (talk) 01:58, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
