"You're In The Picture"
1957
CBS
Host: Jackie Gleason
Plot: 3 celebrities would put their heards through headholes, and must guess what character they are playing. This game show only ran for one episode, and has been shown in syndication many times, noted as "The Bad Seed".

"You're in the Picture" was from 1961, not 1957. There was a "Secret Square" question about it on an episode of the nighttime "Hollywood Squares" in 1968.

The following week, Jackie Gleason spent a half hour apologizing to the nation for the disasterous episode of You're in the Picture. It was a gallant attempt to return The Great One to prime time but the show turned out to be one of TV's shortest lived shows.

The Museum of Television & Radio in New York & Los Angeles have both episodes of that show in their archives. They're must sees. "You're In The Picture" then evolved into an interview show.
