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.
Game Show Network
In the network's infancy, GSN regularly showcased vintage Goodson-Todman game and panel shows from the 1950s and 1960s, many of which were either originally broadcast or only preserved in black-and-white – such as "What's My Line?", "I've Got a Secret", "To Tell the Truth", and "Beat the Clock". These classic shows made up much of the channel's lineup at the outset, but have been gradually cut back in prominence since the late 1990s. On October 1, 2006, only "What's My Line?" had a regular spot on the schedule, late Sunday/early Monday at 3:00 a.m. ET, it was followed by a selection from various 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s Goodson-Todman shows, usually another panel game. On December 19, 2006, GSN reinstated the "Black and White Overnight" to seven days a week from 3:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. ET, showcasing "What's My Line?" and "I've Got a Secret" in the block, other shows, including "Choose Up Sides", "The Name's the Same", and the Bud Collyer-hosted primetime version of "To Tell the Truth" have been featured, this run ended March 31, 2009. "Black and White Overnight" has returned for two weeks in December since 2009, featuring "What's My Line?" and "I've Got a Secret".
