What's My Line?
On CBS
A genial, mid-century parlor game where celebrity panelists engage in witty banter while solving simple occupational puzzles, built entirely on charm and social ease.
Four panelists must determine guests' occupations - and, in the case of famous guests, while blindfolded, their identity - by asking only "yes" or "no" questions.
