GAME SHOW DEBUTED ON THIS DATE IN 1952
I’ve Got a Secret is a weekly panel game show produced by Mark Goodson and
Bill Todman for CBS-TV. Instead of celebrity panelists trying to determine the contestant’s occupation, the panel tries to determine a contestant’s “secret”,
something that is usual, amazing, sometimes embarrassing, or humorous. The
show was originally hosted by radio and television personality Garry Moore. The panelists included Bill Cullen, Jayne Medows, Henry Morgan, and Faye Emerson
(shown above). The original version of I’ve Got a Secret began broadcasting in
black and white and switched to a color format in 1966. It ran until April 3, 1976
