What Is My Line Anyway?

I love old game shows, everyone dressed up and freaked out over the possibility of winning a large prize worth $250. One of my favorites is "What's My Line?" more specifically when the panel has to guess which celebrity has come by for a visit. What's My Line? had EVERYONE on its show at one point or another. Here are a few of my faves:

Lauren Bacall




Fred Astaire



Ava Gardner




Bob Hope




Do you have any favorite game shows, past or present?

  9. I loved this show...it was so simple and innocent.

    Man, Eva looks really old and weathered here...how sad! I choose to remember her as she was in Mogambo with Clark Gable and Grace.

    Thanks for sharing these windows into history with us.

  10. I think if I'd been a contestant on this show and took of my blindfold to see Lauren Bacall, I'd probably have fainted! So awesome!!

    Have you seen the clip from What's My Line with Salvatore Dali? It's fantastic: he clearly barely knows any English!

    What's my favourite game show? It has to be Your Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx! Anything with Groucho in is automatically fantastic! :D

  12. What's My Line, Concentration, and Jeopardy were my favorites. I think Concentration might have been on when I was home for lunch. (We went home from school to eat lunch.)

  14. PPS: Sorry to be a pest, but I knew I was missing a couple other game type shows we used to watch. They were: To Tell the Truth and I've Got a Secret.

    Vincent Price on What's My Line, one of the best.

    Panelist: Are you older than...Rock Hudson?

    VP: (amused) Isn't....everybody?

    Love these clips! I got so tired of waiting up until a million o'clock to watch them on the game show network when i was in college. I'm glad they're available at my convenience!
