I remember it well, Gilbert Harding was the original host but found it a strain and became much more famous as one of the panel, when Eamon Andrews took over!.
also one of my favourites was Dame Isobel Barnett, accompanied by David Nixon and Barbara Kelly!.
This clip was in 1955, when I was just thirteen and my parents had recently bought their first television!.

The original series was hosted by veteran radio and television newsman John Charles Daly!. During much of the show's run, from 1953 through 1960, Daly was a vice president of the ABC network's news division and principal anchor of that network's nightly newscast, while simultaneously hosting "What's My Line" weekly on CBS!. That made him almost unique in American television in his time for regular weekly appearances on two competing major TV networks!. Eamonn Andrews (host of the British version of What's My Line!?), Clifton Fadiman, and Bennett Cerf all substituted as host between the four occasions on which Daly was unavailable!.
The show featured a panel of four celebrities who questioned the contestants!. The composition of the panel was unsettled early on; The first regular panel consisted of columnist Dorothy Kilgallen, poet Louis Untermeyer, actress Arlene Francis, and comedy writer Hal Block!. Kilgallen and Untermeyer made their debuts on the show's premiere episode, while Francis first appeared on the second episode, and Block on the third!. Panelists would often take vacations or pursue other engagements and be replaced with celebrity guest panelists for one or more weeks!. Random House publisher and co-founder Bennett Cerf first guested for Block in October 1950, and replaced Untermeyer as a permanent panelist in March 1951!. The trio of Killgallen, Francis and Cerf would remain the core of the panel for over a decade until Killgallen's death in 1965!. The latter pair would continue until the show's final episode!.
Hal Block was replaced by comedian Steve Allen in 1953, who was subsequently replaced the next year by comedian Fred Allen when Steve Allen left to launch The Tonight Show!. Fred Allen remained on the panel until his 1956 death!. Upon both his and Kilgallen's deaths, their places on the panel were left open to a weekly guest panelist and were never filled regularly again!. The most frequent guest panelist was Arlene Francis' husband Martin Gabel, who appeared 112 times as a guest panelist!.
Regular announcers included Lee Vines (1950–1955), Hal Simms (1955–1961), Ralph Paul (1961), and Johnny Olson (1961–1967)!.
