Query: Who was the first host of the game show "What's My Line?"?
Daly's first foray into television was as a panelist on the game show Celebrity Time.[4] This led to a job in 1950 as the host and moderator on a new panel show produced by Goodson–Todman, What's My Line? The show lasted 17 years with Daly hosting all but four episodes of the weekly series.
During the 1940s, he wrote for "The Bob Hope Show" and worked with Hope on a newspaper humor column. On Broadway he performed in Arthur Klein's musical revue "Tickets, Please!" (1950), and he contributed sketch material to Leonard Sillman's "New Faces of 1952". Price hosted the television panel show "How To" (1951), and he was a panelist on other game shows of the early 1950s: "Who's There?", "What Happened?", "That Reminds Me", "The Name's the Same" and "What's My Line?" 
In the network's infancy, GSN regularly showcased vintage Goodson-Todman game and panel shows from the 1950s and 1960s, many of which were either originally broadcast or only preserved in black-and-white – such as What's My Line?, I've Got a Secret, To Tell the Truth, and Beat the Clock. These classic shows made up much of the channel's lineup at the outset, but have been gradually cut back in prominence since the late 1990s. On October 1, 2006, only What's My Line? had a regular spot on the schedule, late Sunday/early Monday at 3:00 a.m. ET, it was followed by a selection from various 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s Goodson-Todman shows, usually another panel game. On December 19, 2006, GSN reinstated the Black and White Overnight to seven days a week from 3:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. ET, showcasing What's My Line? and I've Got a Secret in the block, other shows, including Choose Up Sides, The Name's the Same, and the Bud Collyer-hosted primetime version of To Tell the Truth have been featured, this run ended March 31, 2009. Black and White Overnight has returned for two weeks in December since 2009, featuring What's My Line? and I've Got a Secret.
Cullen appeared as a celebrity guest on many other game shows, including "I've Got a Secret", "What's My Line?", "To Tell the Truth", "Personality", "The Cross-Wits", "Password", "Password Plus", "Match Game", "Tattletales" (with his wife Ann), "Break the Bank", "Shoot for the Stars", and all of the pre-$100,000 versions of "Pyramid". Cullen hosted a number of pilots for his close friend, quiz producer Bob Stewart, who created "The Price Is Right", "Truth", and "Password" for Goodson-Todman and "Pyramid" for his own company. Cullen thus became the only person to host each of these formats on a full- or part-time basis. He also appeared as a panelist on game shows hosted by his favorite understudy, Bob Eubanks, including "Trivia Trap", "Rhyme and Reason", and "All Star Secrets", and he made guest appearances with Eubanks on "Family Feud". 
That's My Line was a summer CBS reality show developed by Mark Goodson, one of the creators of "What's My Line?". The show highlights the unusual occupations of ordinary people, but unlike "What's My Line?", it has no panel or game components; the show is rather along the same lines as NBC's "Real People" and ABC's "That's Incredible!".
The syndicated series ran for 1,320 episodes over seven seasons. An attempt at an eighth season did not get off the ground as not enough stations were willing to pick up the series for an additional year. With this in mind, Goodson-Todman offered host Blyden the hosting position on "Showoffs," a charades-based game show that the company was developing for ABC's daytime lineup. He accepted and shot a pilot shortly after "What's My Line?" ended production. However, Blyden never got to host the series as he was killed in an automobile accident while traveling in Morocco just before taping was to begin. At the time of Blyden's death, a handful of new episodes of "What's My Line?" had yet to air in certain markets; by the fall of 1975, the last of these episodes had aired across the United States. (Comedian Bobby Van ended up hosting "Showoffs.")
At first the program was hosted by former vaudeville star, songwriter, and actor George Jessel. For the last episodes, however, the emcee was Arlene Francis, best remembered as a long-time panelist on the CBS Television game show "What's My Line?"
After leaving "What's My Line?" with over 1000 episodes under his belt, Bruner created and hosted a home-repair how-to show he called "Wally's Workshop." The show featured Bruner and his second wife Natalie working on home projects in a studio space. "Wally's Workshop" was syndicated in 80 markets, running from 1971 to circa 1985. During his first four years hosting "Wally's Workshop," Bruner made one last appearance on "What's My Line?" This time, he did so as its "mystery guest," during one of the editions that Blyden moderated.
In 1980, Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Productions, creators of "What's My Line?", produced "That's My Line" which also highlighted the unusual occupations of ordinary people. However, the show was developed as a reality show and had no panel or game elements. "What's My Line?" announcer Johnny Olson was the announcer, and Bob Barker was the host for the show which ran for two seasons on CBS.
Music was added to the mix for the 2006 fifth Congress as the world's only game show cover band, the Ceramic Dalmatians, made their first live performance. J. Keith van Straaten hosted and Jim Newman directed an edition of "What's My Line, Live" with panelists Betsy Palmer, Frank Nicotero, Sarah Purcell and Stuart Shostak, while the mystery guest was Shirley Jones. There was an official test and tryout for the show "1 vs 100". A panel discussion "Working as a Game Show Host and Game Show Announcer" was led by Laura Chambers ("Weakest Link", "Greed") with Sarah Purcell, Larry Anderson, Burton Richardson, Jack Narz, Johnny Gilbert. Anderson and Richardson also teamed up as host and announcer for a charity fundraiser game of "Buzzer Battle" benefiting the AIDS Research Alliance. Bob Harris, who would later become a regular visitor of the congress, read from his book "Prisoner of Trebekestan". "Tic Tac Dough" host Wink Martindale, producer Ron Greenberg and Thom McKee participated in a panel on the show, and there was an industry panel discussion moderated by TV host & producer Roger Rose, featuring participants Bob Boden (VP Programming, Fox Reality Channel), Stu Billet (Executive Producer, "The People's Court"), Harry Friedman (Executive Producer, "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!"), Michael Brockman (former VP Programming CBS, ABC, and Goodson-Todman Productions), and Scott St. John (Executive Producer, "Deal or No Deal"). Longtime Hollywood Squares host Peter Marshall was presented with the Cullen Award and William Morris executive Vice President Mark Itkin was presented with the Edwards Award. Guest speakers included Rose Marie, Betsy Palmer, Fred Silverman, Johnny Gilbert, Tom Kennedy, Kathy Garver, Harry Friedman and Al Howard.
Most of Jacobs's career after the late 1960s was at BBC Radio 2, although in the early days of Radio 1, which opened in September 1967, he had a late programme on Sundays. Though a Radio 1 show, this was broadcast on Radios 1 and 2 and consisted of easy listening music and interviews with guests. From December 1967 until July 1984, Jacobs chaired the Radio 4 topical debate, "Any Questions?" He later presented a similar series called "Questions" for TVS. He hosted the panel game "What's My Line?" when it was revived on BBC2 from 1973 to 1974. In 1973 he hosted a short-lived version of the American game show "The Who, What or Where Game".
From 1950 to 1966, the game show was broadcast in black-and-white, as was typical of most game shows at the time. But by 1966, all three networks were broadcasting their prime-time schedules entirely in color, including "What's My Line?" After the show ended in 1967, CBS replaced the color videotapes with the kinescope versions instead for syndication. As a result of this change, the 1966–1967 episodes of "What's My Line?" were only shown in black-and-white after the show ended.
It was during the run of the syndicated version that Woody Allen parodied "What's My Line?" in his 1972 film "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex," with the segment "What Are Sex Perverts?" featuring a game show called "What's My Perversion?" Appearing as panelists were Robert Q. Lewis, who had been a panelist on the original "What's My Line?", and Pamela Mason, who had been a mystery guest. Jack Barry, partner of Dan Enright, both of whom had taken falls in the quiz-show scandals of the 1950s, hosted the "What's My Perversion?" game show, years before both would finally return to television in triumph with "The Joker's Wild."
Unlike its predecessor, the syndicated "What's My Line?" did not emphasize formality as the panelists dressed in normal attire. In addition, the panelists were simply referred to by name and only their first names were displayed in front of them. The show did manage to keep some elements of the original series intact, as the cartoon introduction used during the final two seasons on CBS was reused with new music added. The panelists also entered in the same manner as they had before with Soupy Sales (or the panelist occupying the seat farthest left when he was absent) coming out first and introducing the person sitting next to him, and continuing down the line to Arlene Francis (or whoever occupied her seat while she was absent), who would then introduce the host.
In 1954–55, in addition to his duties with What's My Line?, Daly also hosted the final year of the NBC Television game show Who Said That?, in which celebrities tried to determine the speaker of quotations taken from recent news reports.[7]
Arlene Francis (born Arline Francis Kazanjian; October 20, 1907 – May 31, 2001) was an American actress, radio and television talk show host, and game show panelist. She is known for her long-standing role as a panelist on the television game show " What's My Line?", on which she regularly appeared for 25 years, from 1950–1975 on both the network and syndicated versions of the show.
Taylor's work as a broadcaster, critic, and commentator ultimately overshadowed his work as a composer. He hosted and narrated several television music series and documentaries. In the early 1950s, he was also a repeat panelist on the NBC game show, "Who Said That?", and he was a repeat panelist on "What's My Line?".
In the late 1960s, Blyden began working as a game show host and master of ceremonies starting with "Personality" in June 1967. In 1969, he hosted "You're Putting Me On" and "The Movie Game". In 1972, Blyden took over hosting duties for the syndicated revival of the game show "What's My Line?" Blyden remained the show's host until it was canceled in 1975.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Convy was a popular semi-regular panelist on several game shows, including "What's My Line?", "To Tell the Truth", "Match Game" (he would later star as the host of the pilot for "Match Game '90" in 1989) and "Password". He soon took the podium himself as host of several game shows, including the fourth edition of "Password" (called "Super Password") (1984–1989) and "Tattletales" (1974–1978, 1982–1984), for which he was awarded an Emmy Award for Best Game Show Host in 1977. In 1979, he appeared on "Password Plus" with fellow celebrity contestants such as Elizabeth Montgomery, Carol Burnett, Phyllis Diller, Judy Norton Taylor, Marcia Wallace and Elaine Joyce.
During and between his "Match Game" years, Rayburn served as guest panelist on two other Goodson-Todman shows, "What's My Line?" and "To Tell the Truth". Also during the run of the 1970s "Match Game", Gene and wife Helen appeared on the game show "Tattletales", hosted by Bert Convy. Three years after the original "Match Game" was canceled, Rayburn hosted the short-lived Heatter-Quigley Productions show "The Amateur's Guide to Love". In 1983 he hosted a pilot for Reg Grundy Productions called "Party Line", which later became "Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak".
Prior to 1951, Cerf was an occasional panelist on the NBC game show "Who Said That?", in which celebrities try to determine the speaker of quotations taken from recent news reports. In 1951, he began appearing weekly on "What's My Line?" and continued for 16 years until the show ended its run on CBS in 1967. Until his death, Cerf continued to appear regularly on the CBS Films, Inc. (now Viacom) syndicated version of "What's My Line?", along with Arlene Francis. Cerf was known as "Bennett Snerf" in a "Sesame Street" puppet parody of "What's My Line?". During his time on "What's My Line?", Cerf received an honorary degree from the University of Puget Sound.
The April 1 episode began as if "100 Winners" was airing live with Shandi Finnessey, who had never appeared on "100 Winners", hosting. The first two "contestants" were asked questions "What show are you watching right now?" and "What is my name?", poking fun at the general ease of the answers on "100 Winners". Each "won" a $1,000 prize. The third question, "What day is today?", was answered by someone who said "April Fool's Day!". The program then cut to that night's episode of "quiznation", hosted by Peachey. The May 1 episode marked Finnessey's first time actually hosting "100 Winners".
What's My Line? is a panel game show that originally ran in the United States on the CBS Television Network from 1950 to 1967, with several international versions and subsequent U.S. revivals. The game requires celebrity panelists to question a contestant in order to determine his or her occupation, "i.e.", "line [of work]," with panelists being called on to identify a weekly celebrity "mystery guest" while blindfolded. It is the longest-running U.S. primetime network television game-show. Moderated by John Charles Daly and with regular panelists Dorothy Kilgallen, Arlene Francis, and Bennett Cerf, "What's My Line?" won three Emmy Awards for "Best Quiz or Audience Participation Show" in 1952, 1953, and 1958 and the Golden Globe for Best TV Show in 1962.
La Rosa appeared in a range of television shows, including "The Honeymooners" in 1953, "What's My Line?," "The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom," "The Polly Bergen Show" (two episodes, including the 1957 premiere), "The Merv Griffin Show" and "Laverne and Shirley" in 1980. He starred in the 1958 film "Let's Rock". In 1977, he hosted an unsold game show pilot for NBC, "Noot's Game".
Nicknamed "Gil", Fates was the executive producer of "What's My Line?." Fates produced the game show its entire quarter-century span of CBS and syndicated runs. Fates and panelist Arlene Francis (who debuted on the second week) were with the show from 1950 until it ended in 1975. Fates also hosted "CBS Television Quiz", the first television game show ever to be broadcast regularly; and was credited as a creative consultant on "Play Your Cards Right", the British version of Goodson-Todman's "Card Sharks".
