Back came a reprint of the Wikipedia article about Who's Whose, a 1951 CBS game show that expired after one episode. A few days ago I wrote about You're in the Picture, a game show that shares the wretched distinction of only surviving for one ep. At least You're in the Picture had a famous host in Jackie Gleason. Who's Whose didn't have much of anything except guest celeb Dizzy Dean, who wandered off the show to listen to a baseball game on radio.
The idea was that a celeb panel would try to figure out which contestant was married to which other contestant. It that doesn't sound like such a hot idea, TV critics of the time agreed. They panned the show mercilessly and the ax fell in a hurry.
The only visual evidence of the show I could find was a still photo of host Phil Baker and panelist Robin Chandler. (See screenshot, and I'm sorry for the annoying overlays.) The site with the photo adds one last insult to injury by mislabeling the show Who's Who, though the correct title appears in the orange inset beneath the photo.
