Late Night Listings

Are you watching the late night black-and-white game show reruns on GSN? On the What's My Line? that runs tonight (or tomorrow morning, actually), they're running one from September 29 of 1957 — the only episode of that show's original run with a guest host. John Daly was away on a news assignment so panelist Bennett Cerf filled in for him…and didn't do a very good job, I'm afraid. (There are two mystery guests…singer Julie London and industrialist Henry Kaiser.)

Meanwhile, right after What's My Line? each night/morning, GSN has been running an episode of The Name's the Same. They recently completed the short run where Bob and Ray served as hosts and they're now into a series of shows hosted by Clifton Fadiman. Of special interest is the episode that will run Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. The special guest is Chico Marx.

Thursday night, they're running a Thanksgiving-themed I've Got a Secret from 1964 in that second time slot. Then next Monday night, they run the last episode of The Name's the Same and on Tuesday, December 2, they begin again with reruns of To Tell the Truth, starting way back in 1957.
