What's my revived line?

Over at what's left of what used to be Matt Ottinger's board, Chad Mosher posts that Fremantle is considering a What's My Line revival.

Whoopi Goldberg (not my fave) would be the lead panelist, with some tweaks to the gameplay. The show would lead off with the mystery guest round. Then the mystery guest would turn panelist for the rest of the proceedings. The civvie contestants would get bigger money, too.

Matt Ottinger comments - it did used to be his board, after all - that he has "mixed feelings" about all this. That's pretty much my reaction, too. Tarting up the gameplay a little isn't such a terrible idea. But Whoopi? Get somebody less polarizing.

A while back a rumor surfaced that David Hasselhoff wanted to revive WML. That went nowhere. We'll see if anything comes of this latest report.
