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.
The Fred Allen Show
Allen's health worsened further during his time on "What's My Line?" and on March 17, 1956 while strolling down the streets of New York City, he suffered a heart attack and died at the age of 61. During the final ninety seconds of the next night's "What's My Line?" broadcast, host John Charles Daly along with fellow panelists Arlene Francis, Dorothy Kilgallen and Bennett Cerf, and former regular panelist Steve Allen, gave brief but heartfelt tributes to Allen.
