    Ol' Blue Eyes at last: Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow on What's My Line (1966)

    Sinatra feuded with Dorothy Kilgallen for years, and only agreed to appear on WML after she died.

    "It's A Sin To Tell A Lie Except for Money", from The Perry Como Show. Perry himself takes the Bud Collyer role, with Don Adams, Paul Lynde, Kaye Ballard, and Polly Bergen. (c. 1961-2)

    She was a gossipy newspaper journalist who died under mysterious circumstances in late 1965 after announcing she had "cracked the JFK assassination case" and was going to release a bombshell expose about it. Nobody ever found her notes or manuscript on the article, and she was found dead of an overdose in a bedroom in her lavish NYC apartment, one she never slept in. Strange case.

    I’m completely addicted to watching What’s My Line mystery guest segments on YouTube.
    Love it.

    Isn't there an episode of "The $64,000.00 Question" where Jack comes on, wins $1.00, and quits...?

    I know that he did show up one evening on "I've Got a Secret", where his secret was "I took a cab to tonight's show, and it's waiting outside... with the meter running!!"

    Chamberlin - Wikipedia

    Not mentioned in the Wiki article, but I believe song-poem legend Rodd Keith used a Chamberlin in his production and arrangement work.

    I may be misremembering, I thought she interviewed Jack Ruby or something.

    Also, the night she passed was the Big Blackout on the East Coast.

    Dum, Dum, Dum, Dum .....

    I remember reading all this in an Esquire magazine about the Kennedy assassination, the theories, conspiracies, etc.

    Had to stay up late on Sunday night for WML, it always had a High Society feel to it, the ladies with the sequined blindfolds. On after Candid Camera IIRC.

    Tell The Truth and Secret were back to back on Monday nights, might have started at 7:30 before the networks couldn’t come on til 8.

    The more interesting thing for me as a kid was that Bud Collyer was the voice of Superman on the radio.

    The fun in these shows is that people at home could play along and it was kind of like solving a longform mystery. You can play along with most game shows but the pace of the shows is faster. If you know any answer on Jeopardy that stumps the contestants, there is not the same sense of satisfaction (to me).

    I wonder if any of these shows could be revived? Is there anything inherently different now that would make them less popular?

    Amazing when watching What's My Line or I've Got A Secret now on how many of the shows the fix was in.
