WHAT'S MY LINE? {MYSTERY GUEST: JACK PAAR} (TV)
Summary
One in this series of panel game shows in which celebrity panelists engage in witty banter as they try to guess the unusual occupations of the guests. On this program, host John Daly presides over a panel which includes journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, actor Vincent Price, actress Arlene Francis, and publisher Bennett Cerf. Employing only yes-or-no questions, they try to discover the vocations of Robert Briscoe (the panelists are aware that he is the former Lord Mayor of Dublin, but must figure out that he is currently a manufacturer of Kosher meat products in Ireland), and of rock 'n' roll composers Mike Stoller and Jerry Leiber. After donning blindfolds, the panelists then attempt to guess the identity of this week's mystery guest -- talk show host Jack Paar. Includes commercials.
