* FanNickname: Some fans weren't too fond of the 1968-1975 Daily Syndicated era of the show, thinking it was too much like Goodson-Todman's ''I've Got a Secret''. Hence, they have dubbed it as ''What's My Secret Line?''.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The German version, hosted by Robert Lembke, ran from 1955 to 1958. A second run was produced from 1961 to 1989, when Lembke unexpectedly died, meaning it ran longer in its second version than the CBS and Syndicated runs of the American original combined! It ran once more from 1999 to 2005.

* QuestionableCasting: The appearance of actress Pamela Tiffin as a panelist on the March 12, 1967 episode. Commenters on Website/YouTube have called her one of the worst panelists in the history of the show, due to her poor gameplay and a number of on-air gaffes (including forgetting to introduce Bennett Cerf at the beginning of the show).
