Spoiler : Johnny Olson was the announcer for "What's My Line?" from 1961 to 1972. John Charles Daly complemented Johnny on the air in 1965 with this gracious comment: “He talks to our audience in the theater before the program begins, and I don’t think anybody in television has a better running start than we do. He’s such a friendly, engaging, sincere, nice guy that audiences respond to him, and it makes it much easier for us when our time comes”.

Spoiler : He was the best of all WML announcers.No one else came close.
