1969-What's My Line? (James Earl Jones, Mystery Guest)

In memoriam, James Earl Jones (1931-2024). At the time he made this appearance during the first season of the syndicated version of WML, he'd achieved his first great starring fame for the play "The Great White Hope" (which he later reprised in the 1970 movie). His most iconic role was the voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars films.
-The first contestant on the program is famous movie/TV stuntman Janos Prohaska (1919-1974) who was the man in the suit in several classic "Star Trek" episodes (the Horta in "Devil In The Dark" and the Mugato in "A Private Little War"). Panel for the episode, Soupy Sales, Shari Lewis, Bert Convy and Arlene Francis. Wally Bruner, host.
