The game requires celebrity panelists to question a contestant in order to determine his or her occupation , i.e. , `` line ( of work ) , '' with panelists occasionally being called on to identify a celebrity `` mystery guest '' with specificity . It is the longest - running U.S. primetime network television game - show . Moderated by John Daly and with 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 . After its cancellation by CBS in 1967 , it returned in syndication as a daily production , moderated originally by Wally Bruner and later by Larry Blyden , which ran from 1968 to 1975 . There have been several international versions , radio versions , and a live stage version . In 2013 , TV Guide ranked it # 9 in its list of the 60 greatest game shows ever .

The original series , which was usually broadcast live , debuted on Thursday , February 2 , 1950 , at 8 : 00 p.m. ET . After airing alternate Wednesdays , then alternate Thursdays , finally on October 1 , 1950 , it had settled into its weekly Sunday 10 : 30 p.m. ET slot where it would remain until the end of its network run on September 3 , 1967 . Starting in July 1959 and continuing for 8 straight years , until July 1967 , when John Daly was due to appear in Moscow , the show would occasionally record episodes onto Quadruplex videotape for playback at a future date . This was then state - of - the - art technology , and Daly praised it upon his return from Moscow . In such instances , there would often be two shows a day ; the `` taped '' one , followed immediately by the `` live '' one . The cast and crew began taking `` Summer breaks '' from the show in July 1961 , through July 1967 . Hosts and panelists ( edit ) Moderator John Charles Daly 's 1950 CBS publicity photo for `` What 's My Line ? '' Original panelists from the premiere broadcast , February 2 , 1950 The panel in 1952 . From left : Dorothy Kilgallen , Bennett Cerf , Arlene Francis and Hal Block with John Daly as the host . ( l -- r ) Arlene Francis , Bennett Cerf , Dorothy Kilgallen and John Daly on the 15th anniversary show in 1965 The host , then called the moderator , was veteran radio and television newsman John Charles Daly . Clifton Fadiman , Eamonn Andrews , and Random House co-founding publisher and panelist Bennett Cerf substituted on the four occasions when Daly was unavailable . The show featured a panel of four celebrities who questioned the contestants . On the initial program of February 2 , 1950 , the panel was former New Jersey governor Harold Hoffman , columnist Dorothy Kilgallen , poet Louis Untermeyer , and psychiatrist Richard Hoffmann . The panel varied somewhat in the following weeks , but after the first few broadcasts , during the show 's earliest period the panel generally consisted of Kilgallen , actress Arlene Francis , Untermeyer and comedy writer Hal Block . At various times , a regular panelist might take a vacation or be absent from an episode to due outside commitments ; on these occasions , a guest panelist would take their spot . The most frequent guest panelist was Arlene Francis 's husband Martin Gabel , who appeared 112 times over the years . Publisher Bennett Cerf replaced Untermeyer as a regular panelist in 1951 , and comedian Steve Allen replaced Block in 1953 . Allen left in 1954 to launch The Tonight Show , and he was replaced by comedian Fred Allen ( no relation ) , who remained on the panel until his death in 1956 . Following Fred Allen 's death , he was not replaced on a permanent basis ; the fourth panelist was thereafter always a guest . For the majority of the show 's network run , between 1956 and 1965 , the panel therefore consisted of Kilgallen , Cerf , Francis and a fourth guest panelist . After Kilgallen 's mysterious death in 1965 , she was similarly not replaced with a permanent panelist . For the show 's final two years , the panel consisted of Cerf , Francis and two guests . Regular announcers included Lee Vines , who so served from 1950 to 1955 , Hal Simms , who served from 1955 to 1961 , Ralph Paul , whose tenure was confined to 1961 , and Johnny Olson , perhaps the best known of Goodson - Todman 's television announcers , whose tenure began in 1961 and ran till 1967 . The game play ( edit ) What 's My Line ? was a guessing game in which the four panelists attempted to determine the occupation ( i.e. , `` line ( of work ) '' ) of a guest . In the case of the famous mystery guest each week , the panel sought to determine the identity of the contestant . Panelists were required to probe by asking only yes - no questions . A typical episode featured two standard rounds ( sometimes a third , and very rarely a rushed fourth ) plus one mystery guest round . On the occasions on which there were two mystery guests , the first would usually appear as the first contestant . Standard rounds ( edit ) For the first few seasons , the contestant would first meet the panel up close , for a casual inspection , and the panel was allowed one initial guess . Beginning in 1955 Daly simply greeted and seated the contestant , who then met the panel at the end of the game . Additionally , starting April 17 , 1955 , the panel stopped taking initial guesses . The contestant 's line was then revealed to the studio and home audiences , and Daly would tell the panel whether the contestant was salaried or self - employed , and from 1960 on , dealt in a product or a service . A panelist chosen by Daly would begin the game . If his question elicited a yes answer , he continued questioning . When a question was answered no , questioning passed to the next panelist and $5 was added to the prize . The amount of the prize was tallied by Daly who flipped one of 10 cards on his desk . A contestant won the top prize of $50 by giving ten no answers , or if time ran out , with Daly flipping all the cards . As Daly occasionally noted , `` Ten flips and they ( the panel ) are a flop ! '' Daly later explained , after the show had finished its run on CBS , the maximum payout of $50 was to ensure the game was played only for enjoyment , and that there could never be even the appearance of impropriety . Later in the series , Daly would throw all the cards over with increasing frequency and arbitrariness ( frequently to give a particularly interesting or worthy panelist the maximum available prize money ) , evidence the prize was secondary to game play . Panelists had the option of passing to the next panelist -- or even disqualifying themselves entirely if they somehow knew the contestant 's occupation or identity , in the case of a mystery challenger , before the round . They could also request a conference , in which they had a short time for open discussion of ideas about occupations or lines of questioning . Panelists adopted some basic binary search strategies , beginning with broad questions , such as whether the contestant worked for a profit - making or non-profit organization or whether the product was alive , worn , or ingested . To increase the probability of affirmative answers , panelists would often phrase questions in the negative starting with `` Is it something other than ... '' or `` Can I rule out ... '' The show popularized the phrase , `` Is it bigger than a breadbox ? '' Steve Allen first posed this on January 18 , 1953 , and it was then refined over subsequent episodes . Soon , other panelists were asking this question as well . On one occasion the guest was a man who made breadboxes . Allen correctly guessed the guest 's occupation after Kilgallen asked , `` Is it bigger than a breadbox ? '' Daly could not restrain his laughter in response to the question . The mystery - guest round ( edit ) Blindfolds on for a mystery guest The final round of an episode involved blindfolding the panel for a celebrity `` mystery guest '' ( originally called `` mystery challengers '' by Daly ) whom the panel had to identify by name , rather than occupation . ( In the first edition , the mystery guest was New York Yankees shortstop Phil Rizzuto . ) In the early years of the show , the questioning was the same as it was for regular contestants , but starting with the April 17 , 1955 edition , panelists were only allowed one question at a time . Mystery guests usually came from the entertainment world , either stage , screen , television or sports . When mystery guests came from other walks of life , or non-famous contestants whom the panel but not the studio audience might know , they were usually played as standard rounds . However , the panel might be blindfolded , or the contestant might sign in simply as `` X , '' depending on whether s / he would be known by name or sight . Mystery guests would usually attempt to conceal their identities with disguised voices , much to the amusement of the studio audience . According to Cerf , the panel could often determine the identities of the mystery guests early , as they knew which celebrities were in town , or which major movies or plays were about to open . On those occasions , to provide the audience an opportunity to see the guest play the game , the cast would typically allow questioning to pass around at least once before coming up with the correct guess . Sometimes , two mystery guest rounds were played in an episode , with the additional round usually as the first round of the episode . Style ( edit ) What 's My Line ? is known for its attention to manners and class . In its early years , business suits and street dresses were worn by the host and panelists , but by 1953 , the men normally wore black suits with bow ties ( a few guests in fact wore tuxedos ) while female panelists donned formal gowns and often gloves . Exceptions to this dress code were on the broadcasts immediately following the deaths of Fred Allen and Dorothy Kilgallen , in which the male cast members wore straight neckties and the women wore simpler dresses . The game followed a line of formality and adherence to rules . Although using first names at other points , Daly usually addressed using surnames when passing the questioning to a particular panelist . He would also amiably chide the panel if they began a conference without first asking him . However , even with such formality , Daly was not above trading bon mots with the panelists during the game , and Cerf would often attempt to make a pun of his name . Occasionally Daly would amiably one - up Cerf if he felt the pun was of lesser quality . Cerf also played a myriad of games with Daly 's full name , John Charles Patrick Croghan Daly , reciting it correctly only a handful of times over the course of the series . Often Daly would need to clarify a potentially confusing question , but he had a penchant for amusingly wordy , long - winded replies that often left panelists more confused than before , which Danny Kaye once parodied as a panelist . On more than one occasion , Daly `` led the panel down the garden path '' -- a favorite phrase used when an answer had proven misleading to the panelists . Broadcast format ( edit ) 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 . Radio ( edit ) In addition to the television version , What 's My Line was also broadcast on network radio for a short time . From May 20 , 1952 to August 27 , an NBC Radio version was produced on Tuesday nights with the same cast as the TV version . After August 27 , the program was then broadcast live on CBS Radio on Wednesday nights at 8 : 00 PM for 10 months concluding July 1 , 1953 . The radio version is notable for the only appearances of Marlene Dietrich , Constance Bennett , and Marlon Brando . 1953 Community Chest special ( edit ) A Community Chest Special , completely separate from the regular production of episodes , was broadcast live on all the major networks ( CBS , ABC , NBC , and DuMont ) on the afternoon of Sunday September 27 , 1953 . Production practices ( edit ) On - camera ( edit ) The program began with Daly and panel entering from off - stage as they were introduced . Prior to 1954 , both panelists and host began the program in their seats , but this was changed , responding to letters asking what panelists looked like away from their seats . The first panelist would be introduced by the announcer following the show 's introduction , and each panelist would introduce the next in turn , with the last introducing Daly . During his tenure , Hal Block sat in the final seat and began the practice of introducing Daly with a pun . Upon his departure , Bennett Cerf took over this position . Cerf 's introductions of Daly were generally straightforward in his earliest years on the show , but as time went by Cerf expanded these introductions , often telling long jokes which he tied to Daly in some way . To begin a round , Daly would invite the contestant to `` come in and sign in , please , '' which , by 1960 , had evolved to the more familiar `` enter and sign in , please . '' The contestant entered by writing his or her name on a small sign - in board . ( For the first few telecasts , the contestants signed their names on an artist 's sketch pad ; but when the brightness of the studio lights made it difficult for the signatures to be seen clearly by the viewers , the white sketchpad was replaced by a black chalkboard . ) Daly would then usually ask where the guest lived and , with a woman , if she should be addressed as `` Miss '' or `` Mrs . '' Early in the show 's run , the panel was allowed to inspect contestants , studying their hands , or label on their suit or asking them to make a muscle . While ostensibly a game show , if there was time , it also was an opportunity to conduct interviews . Line 's sister show , I 've Got a Secret , and later , the syndicated version of WML engaged in the practice of contestants demonstrating their talents . However , despite frequent requests by the panel , particularly Arlene Francis , such demonstrations rarely occurred as according to executive producer Gil Fates , Daly was not fond of this practice . Sponsors ( edit ) After the first four episodes , the show gained its initial sponsor when Dr. Jules Montenier paid to have his product , Stopette spray deodorant , featured in advertising on the program . This involved featuring the product in the show 's opening , on the front of the panel 's desk , above the sign - in board , and on Daly 's scorecards . In his last years , Cerf explained to interviewer Robbin Hawkins that Dr. Montenier was ultimately ruined by his refusal to abandon or share sponsorship as the show entered new markets and became too expensive . After Dr. Montenier sold Stopette to Helene Curtis , the series was sponsored by a variety of companies which were either regular or rotating . Sponsors were accorded the same exposure on the set as Stopette . One of the first rotating sponsors , which actually came before Montenier 's sale of Stopette to Helene Curtis ( who continued to sponsor the program after the purchase and still promoted Stopette in their advertising ) , was the Remington Rand Corporation , who used their time to promote their line of electric shavers and business machines such as the UNIVAC . Near the end of its run , sponsors would be introduced in the opening title and given commercials during the show , but would not be displayed on the set . Frequent sponsors in the 1960s were Kellogg 's cereals , Allstate Insurance , and Geritol . Behind the scenes ( edit ) Unknown to the public , mystery guests were paid $500 ( equal to $5,086 today ) as an appearance fee , whether they won or lost the game . This was in addition to the maximum $50 ( equal to $509 today ) game winnings , which guests sometimes donated to charity . Guest panelists were paid $750 ( equal to $7,629 today ) as an appearance fee . The regular panelists were under contract and were paid `` much more , '' according to Fates . Bennett Cerf explained that when he became a permanent member of the program , he was paid $300 ( equal to $3,051 today ) per week , and he told Robbin Hawkins in their interview that by the end of the series , the panelists were being paid `` scandalous amounts of money . '' Studio locations ( edit ) The first four episodes ( # 001 -- # 004 ; February -- March 16 , 1950 ) were broadcast live from a converted loft at the former CBS Studio 41 Grand Central Studios at Grand Central Terminal ( 15 Vanderbilt Ave. , NY ) . Beginning with the first Wednesday episode ( # 005 ; April 12 , 1950 , and continuing until around 1951 ) , the show was broadcast from the now demolished CBS Studio 51 ( Maxine Elliott 's Theatre , aka Maxine Elliott Theatre , 109 W. 39th St. , NY ) . At least by episode # 034 ( January 21 , 1951 ) , the show moved to CBS Studio 59 ( Mansfield Theatre , later renamed the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in 1960 , 256 W. 47th St. , NY ) , and stayed there until Episode # 516 , June 5 , 1960 . Meanwhile , the concurrent 1952 -- 1953 Radio edition , at least during the CBS run , was heard live from CBS Studio Building 22 ( 49 E. 52nd St. , NY ) . In Episode # 225 ( September 19 , 1954 ) a color edition of the show was broadcast live from CBS Studio 72 ( On Manhattan 's Upper West Side , Broadway at 81st St. , NY ) . This predated the shows 's eventual move to color by 12 years . In Episode # 323 ( August 12 , 1956 ) , in conjunction with the 1956 Democratic Party Convention , a special Chicago episode was broadcast from the studios of the CBS Chicago affiliate of WBBM - TV ( 630 N. McClurg Ct. , Chicago , IL ) . In Episode # 397 ( January 12 , 1958 ) , a special Hollywood episode was broadcast from CBS Television City ( 7800 Beverly Blvd , Los Angeles , CA ) . The moderator 's and panel 's desks were not brought over , as they had been for the Chicago special . Beginning with episode # 517 , through episode # 829 ( June 12 , 1960 -- September 4 , 1966 ) , the show used CBS Studio 52 ( 254 W. 54th St. , NY ; the future Studio 54 ) . The last episode aired in black & white was taped on July 17 , 1966 , and the last episode to be produced there in black & white aired live on July 24 . For the final season , from episode # 830 to episode # 876 ( September 11 , 1966 -- September 3 , 1967 ) , in conjunction with the program 's permanent move to color , the show used CBS Studio 50 ( Later renamed the Ed Sullivan Theatre , 1697 Broadway at 53rd St. , NY ) . The final CBS network show ( edit ) CBS announced in early 1967 that a number of game shows , including What 's My Line ? , were to be canceled at the end of the season . Bennett Cerf wrote that the network had decided that game shows were no longer suitable for prime time , and that the news was broken by The New York Times on February 14 before anyone involved with the show was notified . The 876th and final CBS telecast of What 's My Line ? aired on September 3 , 1967 ; it was highlighted by clips from past telecasts , a visit by the show 's first contestants , a challenger from the New York unemployment office , and the final mystery guest , who was John Daly himself . Daly had always been the emergency mystery guest in case the scheduled guest was unable to appear on the live broadcast , but this had never occurred . Mark Goodson , Bill Todman and Johnny Olson appeared on - camera as well .

This version became a staple of local stations 's afternoon and early evening schedules , especially from the 1971 - 72 season onward , when the FCC forced networks to cede one half - hour to their affiliates . The Prime Time Access Rule was intended to permit local stations to produce news and public affairs programming , but instead many of them turned to programs like WML , as practically all stations outside the largest markets found it unprofitable to produce their own shows locally . The first three seasons ( 1968 -- 1971 ) originated from Studio 50 , the home of the original series . In 1971 , production of What 's My Line ? moved from the Broadway studio to Studio 6 - A at NBC in Rockefeller Center , and the series remained there for the rest of its run . As it had with the original series , Goodson - Todman went to ABC News to seek out a host , whose title had ceased to be that of `` moderator , '' and hired Wally Bruner to take over for John Charles Daly . Bruner left the series at the conclusion of its fourth season , the 1971 - 1972 season , and actor Larry Blyden stepped in at the beginning of the 1972 - 1973 season to host the remaining three seasons . The panelists for the revival ( edit ) The syndicated edition had two regular panelists for its entire run , with Soupy Sales joining the returning Arlene Francis . Bennett Cerf appeared as a guest on an irregular basis until he died during production of the fourth season in 1971 . Other panelists included Alan Alda , his father Robert Alda , Joanna Barnes , Joyce Brothers , Jack Cassidy , Bert Convy , Joel Grey , Elaine Joyce , Ruta Lee , Meredith MacRae , Henry Morgan , Gene Rayburn , Nipsey Russell , Gene Shalit and Dana Valery . The look and the style ( edit ) 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 furthest 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 . Who 's who ? ( edit ) In the 1960s & 1970s syndicated run , whenever there was extra time , a special game was instituted called Who 's Who . This was where four members of the studio audience were lined up on stage , and their occupations were printed on cards . Each panelist took those occupation cards gave each to the appropriate contestant ( the ones who they thought had that occupation ) . Each time one panelist failed , the team won $25 and another panelist took a turn . The game ended when the panel was stumped or if a panelist can place the occupations with the right contestants . The producers considered the revival a merger of What 's My Line ? and its 1950s spinoff , I 've Got a Secret , which resulted in noticeable changes from the original . As with Secret , contestants frequently demonstrated their skill or product after the game . ( Bruner , and later Blyden , would preface the demonstrations by asking Lloyd Gross , who directed most of the editions , `` Lloyd , would you open the curtains , please ? '' ) Dollar signs for `` no '' answers were replaced by sequential numbers . Mystery guest rounds were no longer scored and simply ended with a correct guess or when time ran out . A new game was added , called `` Who 's Who ? '' In it , four audience members , selected before the show , stood on stage with four occupations indicated on cards and panelists would attempt to place the correct occupations with the contestants . The set , designed by veteran Goodson - Todman art director Theodore Cooper , was predominantly blue and featured walls behind panel and host areas tiled with illustrations representing various occupations . This set debuted when the show premiered , made the move from Broadway to Rockefeller Center in 1972 , and was used until the end of the 1973 - 74 season . The later introductions ( edit ) For the 1974 - 75 season , the show 's set and introduction were changed . The tiles were done away with in favor of having blue walls with question marks painted on them , and the rest of the set adopted a red and yellow color palette . The animated intro was done away with in favor of the show 's announcer offering a preview of one of the contestants 's games , and the panelists simply entered the stage one at a time as they were introduced . The panel was still introduced from left to right , as they had been before , and Blyden was introduced last . A bright , contemporary music package was composed by Charles Fox . According to Fox 's book , Killing Me Softly : My Life in Music , Robert Israel of Score Productions paid him a buyout fee of $1,000 ( equal to $4,962 today ) for the work . The music was performed and recorded at CTS Studios in Wembley , England , with Fox , Israel and producer Mark Goodson in attendance . The announcers ( edit ) Johnny Olson continued as announcer until 1972 when he parted for California , after which a succession of guest announcers were used including Wayne Howell , Dennis Wholey , Bob Williams , Jack Haskell , and Chet Gould , with Gould eventually taking over full - time in early 1973 . After the death of Bennett Cerf ( edit ) After Bennett Cerf 's death , stations continued to air shows where he was a panelist resulting in confusion among some fans , who were seeing `` new '' episodes with Cerf long after hearing about his death . At the time , syndication involved tape - sharing among stations that aired a series , a practice referred to as `` bicycling . '' As such , while What 's My Line ? aired daily on weekdays , each station airing the show did not air the same episode on a particular day . This prompted producer Gil Fates , who recalled the situation in his book , What 's My Line ? : TV 's Most Famous Panel Show , to send a form letter response to fans who had written complaining about the late Bennett Cerf 's failure to disappear , some saying the television stations were using poor taste . Fates explained that Cerf indeed had died , but television was practicing a time - honored tradition of celebrating one 's work long after their death . As he wrote in his book , Fates knew , but did not tell viewers , about the production costs that would have gone to waste had his company acceded to the demands , some coming from station managers , to scrap the Cerf videotapes . The revival 's end and Blyden 's death ( edit ) 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 . ) Later revival attempts ( edit ) New versions of WML were planned as early as 1981 , then in 1996 , the show was going to be revived by a joint venture between All - American Television and Miramax Films ( which also would have been Miramax 's first foray into television game shows ) as it was being described as `` a new model '' that would have blended the original features such as having a celebrity panel question contestants in an effort to guess their occupation and also having the panel `` Blindfolded '' to guess the identity of a famous person , with contemporary `` special effects '' and `` interactive twists . '' CBS reportedly committed to air six episodes for its fall 1999 schedule . However , according to the president of Miramax TV Billy Campbell , the deal crumbled because the network decided the show was too costly and ambitious . In 2000 , a pilot was shot with host Harry Anderson for CBS , but was later turned down in favor of the reality show Survivor . In 2008 , another revival of the show with David Hasselhoff was planned in cooperation with FremantleMedia , which had taken over ownership of all Goodson - Todman and Mark Goodson Productions programming , that never got off the ground . None of these revivals , however , ever made it to air . In 2014 , another pilot for a revival was shot to offer to stations in 2015 . The Woody Allen parody ( edit ) 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 . After What 's My Line ? ( edit ) 25th anniversary special ( edit ) In early 1975 , with production of the syndicated version of the series on break , the show 's staff went through the annual process of selling the syndication rights to TV stations across North America . That year , there were not enough takers to justify further production . Just days after disbanding their technical crew , Goodson and Todman pitched the idea of a retrospective network special to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the program 's CBS debut , called What 's My Line at 25 . The programming department at CBS turned down the idea but ABC bought it . The special was broadcast by ABC on May 28 , 1975 as a late - night Wide World Special , and is currently available for viewing at The Paley Center for Media . It made a return to television as a one - time rerun on Game Show Network on December 25 , 2014 at 1 : 00 A.M. EST . In producing the special , the only existing master 16mm prints of the original series kinescope films were removed from storage and brought to a Manhattan editing facility that Goodson - Todman Productions rented . There , company employees Gil Fates , Bob Bach , Pamela Usdan and Bill Egan worked round - the - clock for three days to compile the 90 - minute special under deadline pressure from ABC network official Bob Shanks . In the process of viewing and editing the films for the special , they accidentally damaged or destroyed several kinescope films which spanned the entire run of the original series , including a few that did not make the final cut of the retrospective . In addition , some unspooled film remained on the floor after the group 's rented time at the facility ran out . An April 1967 episode featuring Candice Bergen as the mystery guest was lost in its entirety , as was a June 1967 episode featuring both Betty Grable and F. Lee Bailey . Other episodes sustained only partial damage , such as a 1965 episode that is mainly damaged during the mystery guest appearance of Marian Anderson . Mark Goodson , Arlene Francis and John Charles Daly appeared on - camera in 1975 having a conversation that introduced the old kinescope clips . Hosts of the syndicated version , Wally Bruner and Larry Blyden , were alive at the time but did not participate . With the exception of Bruner 's 1969 appearance with mystery guest Gerald Ford , the 25th anniversary special consisted entirely of highlights from the CBS Sunday night version of the series . That 's My Line ( edit ) 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 for the show which ran for two seasons on CBS . Live stage version ( 2004 -- present ) ( edit ) From November 2004 to July 2006 , Jim Newman and J. Keith van Straaten produced one - hour live stage versions of the show at the ACME Comedy Theatre in Los Angeles , California , titled What 's My Line ? -- Live On Stage . The Los Angeles version of the live show went on hiatus when van Straaten relocated to New York , then resumed in June 2007 . The production debuted in New York at the Barrow Street Theatre on March 24 , 2008 for an announced run of six shows . The show is now an authorized production as it is licensed by FremantleMedia , the owners of What 's My Line ? . As of April 12 , 2008 the New York mystery guests have been George Wendt , Moby , Natalia Paruz and Tony Roberts . Panelists have included Michael Riedel , Stephanie D'Abruzzo , Frank DeCaro , Jonathan Ames , and original TV version veterans Betsy Palmer and Julia Meade . The first guest on the New York show ( # 75 in the production overall ) was Pat Finch , who was the first guest on the first CBS episode . In Los Angeles , panelists have included Carlos Alazraqui , Alison Arngrim , E.G. Daily , Andy Dick , Paul Goebel , Danny Goldman , Annabelle Gurwitch , Mariette Hartley , Elaine Hendrix , Marty Ingels , Cathy Ladman , David L. Lander , Kate Linder , Ann Magnuson , Jayne Meadows , Lee Meriwether , Patt Morrison , Rick Overton , Jimmy Pardo , Lisa Jane Persky , Nancy Pimental , Greg Proops , Mink Stole , Nicole Sullivan , Marcia Wallace , Matt Walsh , Len Wein , Wil Wheaton , Gary Anthony Williams , Debra Wilson , April Winchell , and Andy Zax . Mystery guests have included Ed Begley , Jr. , Stephen Bishop , Mr. Blackwell , LeVar Burton , Brett Butler , José Canseco , Drew Carey , Andy Dick , Michael and Kitty Dukakis , Hector Elizondo , Nanette Fabray , Peter Falk , Bruce Jenner , Larry King , Kathy Kinney , Bruno Kirby , Tara Lipinski , Lisa Loeb , Shelley Long , Leonard Maltin , Rose Marie , Wink Martindale , Sally Struthers , Rip Taylor , Judy Tenuta , Alan Thicke , Dick Van Patten , Lindsay Wagner , Wil Wheaton , Noah Wyle , and Sean Young . Panelists and guests who appeared on the original TV versions and on the stage version include Shelley Berman , Lee Meriwether , radio commentator Michael Jackson , Jayne Meadows , Nanette Fabray , Joanna Barnes , Julie Newmar , Margaret O'Brien , and Marty Ingels . Usually when such a veteran appears , there is a pristine - quality DVD screening of the original kinescope on a plasma screen . Non-celebrities include the lifelong Los Angeles - area resident who challenged the panel with her line , afterward reminiscing how 43 years earlier she had traveled to New York , where Arlene Francis identified her as a meter maid . A clip from the kinescope was played . In addition , the show has featured relatives of the original cast : Jill Kollmar ( daughter of Dorothy Kilgallen and Richard Kollmar ) , Nina Daly ( daughter of John Charles Daly ) , and Vinton Cerf ( co-inventor of the Internet and distant cousin of Bennett Cerf ) . It also included a segment in which Vint Cerf 's son Bennett ( named after the panelist ) appeared as a guest . Episode availability ( edit ) All original series shows were recorded via kinescope onto film , but networks in the early 1950s sometimes destroyed such recordings to recover the silver content from the film . CBS regularly recycled What 's My Line ? kinescopes until July 1952 , when Mark Goodson and Bill Todman , having realized it was occurring , offered to pay the network for a film of every broadcast . As a result , only about ten episodes exist from the first two years of the series , including the first three broadcasts . Episode # 048 from April 29 , 1951 exists at the University of Wisconsin Center For Film and Theater Research . Episode # 013 ( August 2 , 1950 ) , episode # 084 ( January 6 , 1952 ) , and episode # 855 ( March 26 , 1967 ) exist at The Paley Center for Media . A portion of episode # 097 ( April 6 , 1952 ) , the full episode # 533 ( October 2 , 1960 ) , and the full milestone 800th episode ( January 23 , 1966 ) exist at the UCLA Film and Television Archive . Episode # 195 ( February 21 , 1954 ) only exists among collectors from a secondary kinescope , as the official kinescope was missing from the Goodson - Todman archive . In 2016 , episode # 018 , aired live on October 1 , 1950 , was discovered by a film archivist . It was preserved and digitally converted for release . The existing kinescope films ( now digitized ) have subsequently rerun on television . The series has been seen on GSN at various times . The series is currently shown on the BUZZR network . Some episodes of the CBS radio version of the 1950s are available to visitors to the Paley Center for Media in New York City and Beverly Hills , CA . Others are at the Library of Congress in Washington , D.C. , where procedures to access them are more complicated . Alpha Video released a DVD containing four episodes on February 26 , 2008 . This is an unofficial release of public domain episodes , and it is unclear if an official release will occur . International versions ( edit ) Australia ( edit ) An Australian version hosted by John Barnes debuted on station TCN - 9 in 1956 during the opening week of Australian television and ran until 1958 . It was replaced by a long - running version of To Tell the Truth . The archival status of this version is unclear . Brazil ( edit ) The Brazilian version of What 's My Line ? was called Adivinhe o que ele Faz ? ( `` Guess What He Does ? '' ) and was hosted by Heloísa Helena . On December 16 , 1956 Helena appeared as a contestant on the American version . Canada ( french - speaking ) ( edit ) Chacun son métier ( `` To Each His Job '' or `` To Each His Trade '' ) ran on Radio - Canada from 1954 to 1959 and was hosted by Louis Morisset . On January 23 , 1955 panelist Nicole Germain appeared as a contestant in the first round on the American version , then sat on the panel next to Bennett Cerf for the second round . On January 18 , 1959 , near the end of the Canadian run , host Morisset appeared as a contestant on the American version . Germany ( edit ) Was bin ich ? ( `` What am I ? '' ) ran on ARD ( First German Television ) from 1955 to 1958 and from 1961 to 1989 with Robert Lembke ( a Bavarian ) as host . Lembke was head of the news division of the public Bavarian Broadcasting Establishment Bayerischer Rundfunk ( BR ) at the time and had bought the rights to the series during a visit to the BBC in 1954 . The best - known panel consisted of district attorney Hans Sachs , actress Marianne Koch , TV announcers Annette von Aretin and Anneliese Fleyenschmidt , and Guido Baumann , head of the entertainment division of Swiss radio and TV station DRS . Austrian TV announcer Ingrid Wendl would usually fill in for Annette von Aretin if the latter was not available . Guests received 5 Deutsche Mark ( DM ) for each `` no '' answer and the panel was allowed 10 `` no '' answers . Prize money was given in a porcelain piggy bank , and Lembke used to insert a 5 DM coin into the Bank 's slot for each `` no '' , producing a loud , characteristic sound . In relation to this , Lembke 's most famous line `` Welches Schweinderl hätten 's denn gern ? '' ( `` Which piggy would you like to have ? '' , spoken in Lembke 's strong Bavarian accent ) , which referred to differently - colored piggy banks . Playing rules were almost identical to the original American rules on What 's My Line with two notable exceptions : Before starting into the line of questions , Robert Lembke would ask the regular guests to perform a `` typical gesture '' that would occur regularly in their line of working , but was n't recognizable too easily . A hairdresser , for example , would not perform the gesture of combing a customer 's hair but of simply lifting a strand of hair before using the comb . The `` celebrity guest of honor '' ( German equivalent to the `` mystery celebrity guest '' ) would receive neither a piggy bank nor money to fill it , but accessories to something he would indulge in privately , ascending in value . So , if a secret guest of honor would ( e.g. ) be a painter in his private time , he would receive something like a small paint brush on the first `` no '' up to an easel on the tenth `` no '' . A keen reader would receive up to ten books by his favorite authors , et cetera . The series returned from 1961 and ran until Lembke 's unexpected death in 1989 . The series returned as a weekly program on Kabel 1 from 1999 to 2005 , hosted by Björn Hergen Schimpf . The panel consisted of entertainer / comedians Herbert Feuerstein and Tanja Schumann , talk - show host Vera Int - Veen , and former German minister of labour and social affairs Norbert Blüm .

Source : McDonald 's USA Product Nutrition The McChicken is a chicken sandwich sold by the international fast - food chain McDonald 's . The sandwich consists of a toasted wheat bun , a breaded chicken patty , shredded lettuce , and mayonnaise . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Variants 2.1 Spiced McChickens 2.2 Other variants 3 See also 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) The sandwich , originally introduced in 1980 , proved to be a sales disappointment and was later replaced with the highly successful Chicken McNuggets . But following the success of McNuggets , the McChicken was reintroduced in 1988 . But again , McDonald 's removed the McChicken from its menus in the United States on September 26 , 1996 , and it was replaced with the Crispy Chicken Deluxe , which was part of McDonald 's ill - fated Deluxe line of sandwiches . But once again , the McChicken was brought back gradually towards the later months of 1997 , due to overwhelming letters and petitions . Additionally , in the United States , the sandwich is somewhat smaller than it was previously , as it is now on the Dollar Menu & More ( previously just the Dollar Menu ) , which offers various food products starting at US $ 1.00 . The meat of the McChicken sandwich used to be 50 % white meat and 50 % dark meat . Viewed in April 2015 , McDonald 's website states that the McChicken contains a blend of dark and white meat chicken . Variants ( edit ) In certain regions and at specific McDonald 's franchises , the McChicken is adapted to appeal to the local population 's tastes . Spiced mcchickens ( edit ) When the McChicken was reintroduced to McDonald 's menu in mid-to - late 1997 as a smaller sandwich , it was initially marketed as the Cajun ( Style ) McChicken . The name was changed back to just McChicken around 2000 , alongside the change to a milder , softer chicken patty . In the south and southwestern parts of the US , the Hot ' n Spicy variant is sold . It originated as a nationwide menu item in January 2006 , but by June of that year , McDonald 's confirmed it had been discontinued due to soft sales . In March 2013 , McDonald 's re-introduced the Hot ' n Spicy across the country to what was then called the Dollar Menu . In November 2013 , as part of the chain 's Dollar Menu & More revamp , the McChicken ( and the Hot ' n Spicy ) could be ordered as a Buffalo Ranch McChicken , which is a McChicken with Buffalo and Ranch sauce instead of mayonnaise , or a Bacon Buffalo Ranch , which is a Buffalo Ranch McChicken with bacon . As of June 2015 , the Hot ' n Spicy is no longer available nationally . The Jalapeño Cheddar McChicken , a McChicken with jalapeño peppers sauce and a slice of white cheddar cheese , was available in 2011 and 2012 . McDonald 's restaurants in Hong Kong , Singapore and India serve a McSpicy variant , with a larger , crispier patty with increased spiciness and flavor . The spicy variant is also available as the Double McSpicy , which consists of two spicy chicken patties . Outlets in Taiwan serve the Hot n ' Spicy variant , which is available on a traditional bread bun or a formed rice bun , while locations in Malaysia serve a variant similar to the McSpicy called the Spicy Chicken McDeluxe but with a cornmeal bun . Other variants ( edit ) In Hawaii , the Ala Moana Shopping Center McDonald 's sells the McTeriChicken variant , a McChicken with teriyaki ( `` teri '' ) sauce . `` Teri '' is heavily used in Hawaii and has been added to various McDonald 's sandwiches , such as the McTeri Burger . In other US states , there is also another variant of the McChicken Sandwich called the Cheddar Onion McChicken , which is a McChicken with caramelized onions and a slice of white cheddar cheese , both on a toasted bun . Crispy McChicken chicken sandwich ( Philippines ) In most countries outside of the US ( such as India ) , the McChicken comes on a sesame - seed bun and is not spicy . In Canada , the UK , Ireland , Australia ( where it originally appeared as a promotional menu item but , due to its popularity , became a full - time menu item ) and New Zealand , the McChicken also comes on a sesame - seed bun but with lettuce and a flavoured mayonnaise sauce called `` McChicken Sauce '' . In the UK , the Junior Chicken is sold as the Mayo Chicken . In Canada , the low - priced chicken option is called the Junior Chicken , which generally costs C $ 1.69 ( as an offering on McDonald 's Canada 's `` Value Picks '' menu ) , but the sandwich is only lightly spiced . It is referred to as the cousin of the Canadian McChicken , which in turn is more akin to the US ' Premium Crispy Chicken sandwich ( though the latter is served on an artisan roll , instead of the sesame seed bun of its Canadian counterpart ) . McDonald 's restaurants in Spain serve a variant with barbecue sauce rather than mayonnaise See also ( edit ) List of McDonald 's products List of sandwiches References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` This Michigan State student tried to eat 100 McChicken sandwiches in 24 hours '' .

Due to the toy store 's success as well as donating toys to children in need as Santa had earlier suggested , they turned a profit of one cent , which his grandfather had done every previous year .
