Super Rare…’Masquerade Party’, May 22, 1955
Only five episodes are known to exist of this show that I remember watching as a kid. From 1952-1960, the show aired on ABC, NBC and CBS at various times and had six different hosts. To my amazement, one host was none other than CBS newsman Douglas Edwards in 1953! The other hosts were Bud Collyer (1952), Peter Donald (1954–1956), Eddie Bracken (1957), Robert Q. Lewis (1958) and Bert Parks (Fall 1958–1960). You won’t believe who the second guest is with that great scottish accent! The announcer is Johnny Olson and one of the producers was Alan Sherman who also worked on ‘What’s My Line’.

A panel of celebrities try to guess the identity of another celebrity that is in heavy makeup and/or costume..A 1950’s classic game show!..Hosted by Peter Do…
The story I keep reading is that Allan Sherman worked on “I’ve Got a Secret”, which he helped pitch to Mark Goodson & Bill Todman after “What’s My Line?” became a hit in the early 1950’s. Allan left “IGaS” later in the ’50s to become more of a comedian, writer and singer during the ’60s.
