What’s my line – Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

Your Tatler’s favorite TV show is What’s My Line from the 1950s. Not only are the panelists witty and urbane, they are just plain brilliant in the way they discern what a contestant does for a living, often with only the scantiest evidence. Another segment of the show featured “Mystery Guests,” in which the panelists, wearing blindfolds, were charged with determining who that guest was.

The Mystery Guests comprised some of the most illustrious figures in the US; in the arts, business, sports, and politics. Still, it was a real surprise in one episode to see Bishop Fulton J Sheen walking onto the sound stage. His eminence acquitted himself well, but the most riotous moments belonged to panelist Arlene Francis, as you will see in this video.

The Tatler of 1709 was founded by Jonathan Swift, aka Isaac Bickerstaff. The Taos Tatler was founded by ex-New Yorker Anthony Fountain in 2018, in the same spirit, he hopes, as the original. Please send mail to taostatler@gmail.com.
