What's My Line? - Richard Kaskel

My dad on What's My Line in 1968, whose line was pawnbroker. Character actor Fred Clark was the mystery guest, and unfortunately he died in between the date the show was taped and scheduled to be aired, so the final broadcast was delayed by several months.

I went to the taping and I sort of remember it was Studio 54. I may be wrong. Could have been Ed Suillivan (Studio 50) also. Not sure.

I got it from the producers, Goodson & Todman Productions, 20 years ago when they still had an office in NYC. Don't know who has custody of the master tapes today. Perhaps Game Show Network?

Was this in CBS TV studio 33 like a ton of other G-T shows?

Is this the syndicated premiere because of the way Wally said ALL NEW?

Gary - my dad was a page at CBS at this time (maybe 1968-1969), and actually got on this show as a contestant once. Been trying to find that video my whole life. Where did you get this clip?

Thanks for posting this beautiful clip!! Wow, that little blip at the beginning is a real find. This would have been from the first syndicated season and I wonder how far into that season's tapings this 8-68 episode was. Also, the Ed Sullivan theater had great accoustics and the audience sounded so much better that at 8H, even when 8H was full of folks! Fred Clark was always fun to watch. Is your family business still active and at the same location?

Your dad met Soupy Sales!?!?

Wally Bruner is no John Charles Daly, however.

Nice clip. : )

WHERE did you find the tape? And how?
