John Charles Daly
Daly's first foray into television was as a panelist on the game show "Celebrity Time". This led to a job in 1950 as the host and moderator on a new panel show produced by Goodson–Todman, "What's My Line?" The show lasted 17 years with Daly hosting all but four episodes of the weekly series.
What's My Line?
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."
