IT'S NEWS TO ME with John Charles Daly (Jul 20, 1952)

[@mikedoran9851]

John Daly. The only person on the planet who called him John Charles Daly was Bennett Cerf on What's My Line - and that was only to needle him.

I like this old show. Thank you for the video.

[@cactusjackNV]

When this was the 1952 summer replacement for Ed Murrow's "SEE IT NOW", on Sundays at 6:30pm(et).

[@Beson-SE]

I have seen the actor @ 5:00 and 15:15 before but I can't remember his name or where I have seen him.

Johan Bengtsson Is it Alan Reed, voice of Fred Flintstone. Sure sounds like him. Or is it Frank Wayne of Goodson Todman

[@WhatsMyLine]

jethro1963 I don't know who Frank Wayne is, but this was definitely not Alan Reed. Doesn't look or even sound much like him, in my opinion. Take a look at some of the photos of Reed here-- definitely not the same man: www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=alan+reed&ei=kBkfVfvyMsTzoATS7oHgBg

What's My Line? Frank Wayne was a former executive producer for the current "The Price is Right" (1972-1986), until Bob Barker took over (1986-2007).

jethro1963 Johan Bengtsson What's My Line? In the next episode (kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6HWm2ycnKtorbs), John confirms around 14.05 that the actor performing the skits is indeed Frank Wayne.

[@LaptopLarry330]

Frank Wayne also did some work behind the scenes on "Password".

Good old lila quartermain

Anna Lee had a long career in movies and TV. She worked a number of times for John Ford. She starred opposite John Wayne in “The Flying Tigers” and starred in Val Lewton’s film “Bedlam.”

intriguing but too complicated to last.

[@yeahnoonecaresifyouarefirst]

Isn't it a shame?! I loved it! ❤

[@rickcharles5064]

Wasn't there a show in the 70s or 80s that was kind of like this? They'd take a subject and the panel would try to either bs or tell the truth and the contestant had to choose? (maybe it was called To Tell the Truth?)

[@savethetpc6406]

rick charles As we will soon see when Gary starts posting "To Tell The Truth" episodes, the concept behind TTTT was that the panelists had to guess which of 3 people purporting to be a particular individual really was that person. One would be telling the truth while the others would be imposters making stuff up in an attempt to be believable as the person described. But you could be right that there was another game show that dealt more with topics. Perhaps someone else here might know what you're thinking of.

[@jimtrue1465]

rick chalres: You may be thinking of The Liars' Club, where panelists would be given an obscure object and had to give the contestant an explanation of what the object was and what it was used for. Then the contestant had to decide which panelist gave the correct answer.

The CBC's "Front Page Challenge" in Canada

[@OldTelivisionRocks]

How in the world did you find this in the first place?

[@jehobden]

GSN aired this awhile back.

[@Qermaq]

Precursor to Hollywood Squares much?

[@savethetpc6406]

Qermaq In the sense that the contestants have to decide whether or not to agree with the panelists' answers -- yes, I guess so. Very different content-wise, though.

[@d5r8u2e7]

It is difficult to believe that this bizarre format lasted three seasons back in the 'Fifties. Unfortunately, the modern viewer hasn't the slightest inkling what they are talking about, since the context involves long-ago, ephemeral trivia, presented at a frenzied, slapdash pace. It just was no fun to watch.

[@Lee90000]

The show format is not well structured. They have J Daly handing out five dollar bills that people cannot see. And then you have people make up stories in freeform. How are the masses going to catch on?
