    1 9 7 4 (USA)

    Well-known celebrities were disguised in elaborate costumes and makeup when they appeared as contestants on Masquerade Party. The costumes were designed to serve as a clue to the panellists, who questioned the celebrities in an attempt to guess their real identities.

    When contestants answered the panellists’ questions they used a special microphone which also disguised their voices.

    Any prize money won by contestants was donated to their favourite charities.

    Screening for nine seasons, Masquerade Party went through six moderators and a total of 19 regular panellists.

    Richard Dawson moderated a syndicated revival of the show during the 1974-1975 season, with regular panellists Bill Bixby, Lee Meriwether and Nipsey Russell.

    Moderators
    Bud Collyer (1952)
    Douglas Edwards (1953)
    Peter Donald (1954-1956)
    Eddie Bracken (1957)
    Robert Q Lewis (1958)
    Bert Parks (1958-1960)
    Richard Dawson (1974)
