The most watched person on television, Arthur Godfrey, appears as a mystery challenger on What's My Line on March 30, 1952. Most young people have never even heard of Godfrey, but he was huge in his heyday.

Earlier I posted Sal Mineo's mystery guest appearance on the original What's My Line in 1957. Nobody figured out who he was. Thirteen years later Sal's the mystery guest again on the syndicated version. Again the panel is stumped.

This clip is an excerpt from an old 50's TV program called 'You Asked For It', a popular human-interest show that originally aired on TV between 1950-59. On the show, viewers were asked to send in postcards describing something that they wanted to see on television, such as the reenactment of William Tell shooting an apple off his son's head. (1950 US National Archery Champion Stan Overby performed the feat, shooting an apple off his assistant's head.) Short film clips were also presented, with the selections based upon viewer requests. As a consequence, many of the clips were presented multiple times. Some of the more popular clips included a tour of the bizarre Winchester Mystery House and the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The program was named 'The Art Baker Show', after the series creator and host. In April 1951, the show's title was changed to 'You Asked For It'. Originally airing on the cash-strapped DuMont Network from December 1950 to December 1951, it moved to ABC, where it remained until the end of its original run in September 1959. The show was sponsored by Skippy peanut butter and Studebaker Automobiles. I remember watching this series as a kid, but if I'd seen this show it would have definitely stood out in my memory!
No way did this man perform this 'feat', but it sure must have left kids wondering back then..he probably had the bullet already in his mouth and the officer was shooting blanks...duh..I mean..shooting a real bullet almost point blank into a man's face on live tv is going to be messy, to say the least..

Actress Ann Sothern was the mystery challenger on this episode of What's My Line. Note that her last name is misspelled as 'Southern' on her nameplate. That's a little on the embarrassing side, don't you think?

Comic pianist Victor Borge was a mystery challenger on What's My Line on October 11, 1959. The unusual aspect is the occupation the panel had to discover was 'farmer' not 'musician!'

From December 27, 1964, Gene Kelly appears as the mystery challenger on What's My Line. (He certainly gets a couple of odd questions from Dorothy Kilgallen.)

Why live TV is better than taped shows: On May 10, 1959, an intruder rushed onto the set of What's My Line. Milton Berle had just been revealed as the mystery guest. The man approached Berle, shook his hand, and blurted, 'I made it...for Mother's Day!' and quickly left. His identity was never discovered.
