Hosted by John Daly in 1965, What's My Line? ran on CBS, and was produced by game show tycoons Goodson-Todman. The game worked like this: The mystery guest came on stage and signed his or her name on a black board. A blindfolded celebrity panel tried to guess who the mystery guest was by asking pointed questions. The guest usually tried to disguise her voice in order to throw the panel off.

For her appearance on the 1965 episode, Barbra entered and the audience cheered wildly. She wrote “My name is Barbra” on the black board. Barbra, disguising her voice by speaking Italian, again tried to fool the blindfolded guests. However, they quickly guessed that she was “the inimitable Barbra Streisand”. And by making an appearance on the game show, Barbra plugged her first solo television show, My Name Is Barbra.
