What's My Line? is a Canadian game show that aired on CTV, based on both the original 1950-67 CBS primetime game show of the same name and its 1968-75 syndicated revival.

As with the previous versions, the CTV version of the series, produced at the studios of the network's Montreal affiliate CFCF-TV under licence from format owner Goodson-Todman Productions, had a panel of noted Canadian personalities, along with a rotating guest panelist,[2] asking yes-or-no questions to a contestant in trying to find out his/her unusual line of work. A panelist continued to ask questions as long as "yes" answers were given. Game play (including the use of the Mystery Guest segment) was similar to the American versions, while the show's theme song was the Score Productions theme from the 1968 syndicated version of the show.
