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.
Bennett Cerf
Prior to 1951, Cerf was an occasional panelist on the NBC game show "Who Said That?", in which celebrities try to determine the speaker of quotations taken from recent news reports. In 1951, he began appearing weekly on "What's My Line?" and continued for 16 years until the show ended its run on CBS in 1967. Until his death, Cerf continued to appear regularly on the CBS Films, Inc. (now Viacom) syndicated version of "What's My Line?", along with Arlene Francis. Cerf was known as "Bennett Snerf" in a "Sesame Street" puppet parody of "What's My Line?". During his time on "What's My Line?", Cerf received an honorary degree from the University of Puget Sound.
