What's My Line? Description:
This prime-time show had celebrity panelists guessing the occupation of the contestants. Each "no" answer earned the contestant $5. Witty celebrity regulars included Steve Allen and Arlene Francis.

: : : Yes, the game was a 50\'s TV show entitled \"What\'s My Line?
: : : On that long-lived program, the panelists tried to determine the occupation of a guest. This often involved guessing at the nature of a product with which the guests might be identified and, to that end, finding out the size of the product. The commonest question along this interrogative route, heard so often that it became a running gag, was \"Is it bigger than a breadbox?\"
: : Apropos of nothing in particular, apart from a bit of nostalgia. There was a version of the show on British radio too. The most memorable occupation, which didn\'t get guessed, was Sagger-makers Bottom Knocker. This was a real job involving cleaning out debris from saggers - which are the cases used to protect pottery when it is fired in a kiln

Кем быть?
По Маяковскому. :)
Если серьезно, то у нас это переводили и "Каков мой путь?" и "Кем же мне быть".
Но смысл тот самый. "Кем быть?" ;)

О, вот классный линк. С кАртинками ;)!
\"What\'s My Line?\" was network television\'s longest running primetime game show,with a broadcast run of over seventeen and one half years.For seventeen of those years the show aired Sunday nights at 10:30 p.m. The game,which remained unchanged throughout its long run,consisted of four panelists trying to guess either the unusual occupation of a guest contestant or a product associated with them.A panel member asked questions and the guest would answer either yes or no.The panelist remained in control of the questioning until he or she recieved a no answer.

Vladimir Dubisskiy
: this is not about choosing a profession, but to guess the unusual occupation - simply for fun. So "Кем быть?" does not apply here.It's more about "Sagger-makers Bottom Knocker"

whatever. "Мимо тещиного дома я без шуток не хожу", так? Я уже говорил, у меня материала столько, что модераторы заколдобятся. Не вынуждайте. Последнее китайское предупреждение. Я уже всерьез.
