What's My Line?

Four panelists need to figure out guests' occupations with yes/no questions. For celebrities, they also have to guess their identities without being able to see them.

Contestants with unique professions were asked by panelists only questions that could be answered with a simple "yes" or "no". After the interview, the panel members tried to guess each contestant's job based on their answers. Occasionally, a mystery guest appeared — typically a celebrity; during these sessions, the panelists wore masks and often masked the guest’s voice as well.
