At the time, Steve's late night show was on in New York only (on WNBC). That's why he continued to be a regular panelist. When Steve's show went national (and was renamed "Tonight") that September, Steve had to resign as a regular panelist. CBS wasn't very happy having ABC's main news anchor host a show on their network (Goodson-Todman insisted that Daly remain as host after he was hired by ABC) and they wouldn't allow a NBC host as a regular on a CBS show.
"What's My Line", esp. the original version is one of the classiest game shows of all-time. When you got the host and panelists in formal attire and addressing them just as formally, it doesn't get any classier indeed!
It was sharp of Dorothy to ascertain the fact that she did not work in the US for starts.
