A panel of celebrities attempts to identify the unusual occupations of ordinary guests by asking a series of carefully worded yes-or-no questions. The challenge becomes even more entertaining when a famous mystery guest arrives and the blindfolded panelists must determine the person’s identity using only their answers and voices. Hosted with wit and formality, the program turns a simple guessing game into a showcase for clever questions, playful conversation, and the personalities of its panel and guests.
