5. What’s My Line
Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Productions created this unique show whose first run was aired from 1950 to 1967, but had several brief revivals until 1975. In this game show, a panel of four celebrities would be given game tasks, and the panellists had to ask “yes” or “no” questions to guess the occupation, i.e. ‘line’ of work of a fifth contestant whose identity would be kept a secret. The Mystery Guests would be paid for appearing on the show. The show was moderated by John Charles Daly, and several celebrities were featured in over 2000 episodes over 25 seasons.
