I've Got a Secret is a
panel game show produced by
Mark Goodson and
Bill Todman for
CBS television. Created by comedy writers
Allan Sherman and Howard Merrill, it was a derivative of Goodson-Todman's own panel show
What's My Line? Instead of
celebrity panelists trying to determine a contestant's occupation, the panel tries to determine a contestant's "secret": something that is unusual, amazing, embarrassing, or humorous about that person.
