What's My Line?
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, and Bob Barker was the host for the show which ran for two seasons on CBS.
Whose Line Is It Anyway? (U.S. TV series)
Brady had a summer variety show on ABC in 2001, "The Wayne Brady Show" and then hosted a daytime talk show of the same name for two seasons, starting in September 2002. He also was the host of Fox's "Don't Forget the Lyrics". In 2007, he made a guest appearance in one episode of "30 Rock", and has made several appearances on "How I Met Your Mother" as Barney Stinson's homosexual brother. He also had a couple of guest appearances on "Chappelle's Show". Since October 5, 2009, Brady has been the host of CBS' revival of the classic game show "Let's Make a Deal". Featuring Jonathan Mangum as announcer and Co-Host, this new iteration utilized some classic elements of improv from "Whose Line", most notably Brady's singing and comedic abilities, occasionally breaking out into spontaneous musical improv in front of or involving contestants, and not being a stipulated aspect of the particular game to be played. As of 2009, every main "Whose Line" participant has hosted at least one game show except Ryan Stiles.
