A celebrity panel asks yes or no questions trying to identify the unusual names of the guests.  

Bill is never listed as a regular for this series, but early in his career, as he was beginning to make a name for himself on I've Got A Secret, he made at least six consecutive appearances as a panelist from August 6 to September 10, 1952, and at least one more appearance a few months later.  It's also possible his appearances on this show started before August.  He was probably only a replacement for Meredith Willson during that time, but the regularity of his appearances warrant at least a mention on this site.

Many, maybe even all of Bill's appearances on The Name's The Same survive, as does much of the entire series.  The series has been seen on GSN: The Network For Games as recently as 2005 as part of their Black & White Overnight block.
