What's My Line? Arnold Stang (1950–1967) Online

Betty White takes the place of Arlene Francis for next couple of weeks on the panel, which includes Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen and Bennett Cerf. They all try to guess the professional identity of a man from Mesa, AZ who raises alligators; the challenger won by default. Then the four take a stab at identifying the line of a young woman from Los Angeles who models maternity clothes; once again the panelists failed to identify the challenger. Next, the panel tried to guess the identity of celebrity mystery challenger Arnold Stang, and it was one of the few times that the mystery guest went unidentified in the first five years of the show. Finally, with little broadcast time left, the panel attempts to guess the line of a gun maker (ironically named William Gunn), but time ran out before the panel could correctly guess his occupation.

This Fathers' Day, 1955 telecast was live from New York and sponsored by Stopette spray deodorant, with promotional consideration for American Airlines for guest transportation. To coincide with it being Fathers' Day, one contestant's secret occupation was that she was a maternity clothes model.

Arnold Stang fudged the truth when he said he was currently appearing on a TV series on another network. He was making occasional appearances on NBC's Texaco Star Theatre Starring Milton Berle (1948), but he was in no way a regular cast member.
