Line 42:
* [[Expy]]: When ''[[Ive Got a Secret]]'' creator [[Allan Sherman]] brought the idea to Goodson-Todman, they initially rejected it as being a copy of ''Line''. Reportedly, Sherman replied that ''Line'' was so popular that '''somebody''' was going to copy it...so why not copy themselves?
* [[Frank Sinatra]]: Was both guest and panelist on one of the last CBS episodes, having more or less snubbed the show prior due to his feud with Dorothy Kilgallen.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** A pre-''[[Star Trek]]'' William Shatner appeared as a panelist in a few CBS episodes.
** Leonard Nimoy was a Mystery Guest during the final syndicated season.
Line 59:
* [[Old Shame]]: Surprisingly, it may well be the syndicated run. The ABC special ''What's My Line? At 25'' never mentioned the syndicated version whatsoever, and featured no more than '''two''' clips from it, both in monochrome.
** To be fair, they only had 90 minutes (minus commercials and host segments) for the clips, and the syndicated Mystery Guest segments probably didn't seem as noteworthy as the CBS ones. Today, a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOGIFVIwRaU Leonard Nimoy] segment might hold as much entertainment value as an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rZEl46Y3AE Ed Sullivan] one.
* [["On the Next..."]]: Early episodes had Daly show a picture of someone and say "This (man/woman) will appear on next week's show. Can you guess (his/her) occupation? Tune in next Sunday and find out."
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Almost every female brought in to replace Kilgallen. Many fans feel that her death marked the show's [[Jump the Shark]] moment.
* [[The Pete Best]]: Hal "Dimples" Block.
