The host of What's My Line?, during the seventeen years it aired on network television (1950-1967), was John Daly.
Daly--well-known, prior to What's My Line?, for the years he spent as a network radio reporter, correspondent, and anchor--brought great skill, erudition, and charm, to his What's My Line? hosting duties.
