The classiest game show ever to grace the airwaves was What's My Line. In this 1959 episode Jack Benny is the mystery guest. Hilarity ensues. Why can't TV be this good nowadays? Tags: Added: 28th September 2007 Views: 609 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
The original classic Sunday night version of What's My Line ended its run of more than 17 years on September 3, 1967. Everyone figured the final mystery guest would be a biggie. Some newspapers even speculated it would be President Lyndon Johnson. (Hence, Arlene Francis' question about being 'elected into office.') Instead host John Daly was himself the mystery guest! Quite a fitting conclusion, I'd say! Tags:WhatsMyLineJohnDaly Added: 28th September 2007 Views: 514 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
In 1974, when Jimmy Carter was governor of Georgia, he appeared as a contestant on the syndicated version of What's My Line. He was so anonymous at the time he wasn't recognized. Two years later he'd be elected president. Tags:JimmyCarter Added: 29th September 2007 Views: 497 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
Red Skelton is the mystery guest on this 1954 episode. The rules at that time permitted a panelist to keep questioning a mystery guest until a negative response was given. Fred Allen keeps getting affirmative answers from Red. When it's obvious that Allen knows who the mystery guest is, he makes a classic remark.

Famed artist Salvador Dali is the mystery guest on this episode of What's My Line from January 27, 1957. Judging by his answers, Dali was truly a man of many talents! Tags:SalvadorDaliWhatsMyLine Added: 6th October 2007 Views: 410 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
Twenty-three-year-old Barbra Streisand is the mystery guest on this April 1965 episode of What's My Line. Barbra was quite the looker in 1965! Tags:BarbraStreisandWhatsMyLine Added: 6th October 2007 Views: 405 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
The classy and lovable Jimmy Durante was a very unsuccessful mystery guest on this January 1965 edition of What's My Line. His voice was just too recognizable! (Despite the reference to Durante's age, he would outlive three of the four panelists on this show.) Tags:JimmyDuranteWhatsMyLine Added: 6th October 2007 Views: 433 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
