Wally Bruner and his lovely wife, Natalie, hosted THE MORNING SHOW on WISH TV 8, weekdays, in Indianapolis. In early 1972 they gave me the opportunity to sing on the show. It was my senior year of high school and I can not imagine a classier set of human beings than the Bruner's. Following an audition to sing on their show, I was warmly embraced and supported as a semi-regular singer. They were busy raising their children as they were taping their syndicated home repair show called WALLY'S WORKSHOP. Not to mention the fact that Wally had to fly to New York each weekend to tape a week's worth of WHAT'S MY LINE episodes! With all the stress of keeping this hectic schedule they found it in their dear hearts to provide an experience of a lifetime for an unknown high school senior. For that I shall always be grateful! -Jeff Reed

By 1968, Bennett Cerf was having health problems that eventually would take his life in 1971. He was willing to return to “What’s My Line?”, but only for two shows per week (Most of the time, it was on Mondays and Fridays; this was the pilot episode, before they got a list of stations to syndicate the program to, usually CBS affiliates). Goodson-Todman agreed to Cerf’s request. Five shows per day were taped, and Bennett would bring in a change of clothes for the second episode of the week. After a number of weeks of tapings were done for the entire season, Bennett Cerf would go back home to his estate at Mount Kisco, New York, or if he felt well enough, he would appear at other game show tapings, like “To Tell The Truth” for a week in 1969. Note: On the last show of that week, Cerf was not seen on camera at the end of the episode. He may have been so weakened and/or exhausted, that he was immediately sent to the dressing room, then off to the hospital for treatment.

Nice animated opening. We had such things on German TV too at that time. In the 60's and 70's there was more fun and more colour on the screen. I allready saw some of the shows from the 50's and 60's in black and white on RUclips. This is the first time I'm watching it in colour.
An Adaption of "What's My Line?" ran in Germany from 1955 until 1989. For 35 years you could win 5 Deutsche Mark for a "No". They never changed that amount. Who would be glad to win 5 Mark or Euro or Dollar today? Nowadays you have to win 1 million!
One thing was better in the german show: The guest at the end of the show was not allowed to speak. Only nodding or shaking head, the host said "yes" or "no". So you couldn't recognize the voice! The show lasted 45 minutes and this guest had time to performe something. A singer performed a song, an actor or comedian told a funny story of his long show life.
I know all celebrities of this show here - except of the host. Some of them I know from movies and tv series, I watched in my childhood here in Germany. Some of them I got to know later by watching RUclips.

No one can replace the original panel and host. And like many times, when you end some series, don't start it again. WML was a great series. That's all.

[@manidig]

The original show was a 1950s after dinner party. This version did not air late on a Sunday night- it often aired in local station time (after 4pm) or prime time access (7p to 8p). It's audience was totally different even if the format of the show had not changed much. Larry did his best to be as much llike John Daly. When he left Larry Blyden (who had been a panelist many times in the old John Daly era) tried to be more of a generic Goodson-Todman host. They also didn't move this show to LA. Imagine Gene Wood or Bert Convy hosting it which could have happened if they had moved it to LA.

[@vivianpowell1732]

Arlene Francis kept the late 1960s look classic and fabulous. Solid black dress with a bright wrap in a tropical color. Her dress is fashionably short but still in proportion to the rest of her look. Low black heels are just right. Fifty-five years later, she'd still be turning heads.
Meredith went for the go-go look. As in Go-Went-Gone. All the little birdies say, "Cheep, cheep, cheep".
