good question !!!

I'm surprised that no one has done a new Whats my Line lately !!
I do wonder if any other countries have done a remake though as Whats My Line when it was on tv here in the US was re-done in many other countries from England to Mexico ( 3 Stooges' Moe Howard appeared on that one ) to even Japan and Germany.

About Whats My Line, Soupy Sales has his new book out now and it talks about his time on the show. Interesting footnote that Whats My Line was cancelled , well production stopped on the series not due to bad ratings but because of the death ( car accident ) of Larry Blyden.

If this is true, who knows !!! If Blyden would have lived Whats My Line may very well could've lasted into the 1980s. I always believed Blyden could've been a game show superstar ( like Bill Cullen and Bob Barker ) , had he not taken that tragic vacation in 1975.
