''Masquerade Party'' is an American television game show. During its original run from 1952–1960, the show appeared at various times on all three major networks except DuMont (ABC, NBC, and CBS). A syndicated revival was produced for one season in 1974-75. A panel of celebrities met with another celebrity who was in heavy make-up and/or costume; this disguise would always provide clues to the celebrity's actual identity. For example, actor Gary Burghoff appeared in 1974 as a robot with radar, alluding to his role as Radar O'Reilly on ''M *A *S *H''. The panel asked yes-or-no questions to the celebrity, and then received another clue about the celebrity's identity at the end of the round. After the clue, the panel had one last chance to guess the identity, followed by the celebrity revealing their true identity. ==1952–1960== The original show had several well-known celebrities on its panel including Pat Carroll, Buff Cobb, Sam Levenson, Audrey Meadows, Ogden Nash, Betsy Palmer, and Jonathan Winters. Comedian Allan Sherman was the producer, and Stefan Hatos was executive producer; The show's theme music was "The Comedians," an orchestral composition by Dmitri Kabalevsky. The oversensitivity of the show towards advertisers and political correctness complaints, made it fall into a hoax of the satirical magazine ''The Realist'', in 1960.〔Michael DooleyJuly (2000) (Here Lies Paul Krassner ), at ''AIGA Journal of Graphic Design'', vol.18, no. 2, 2000〕〔Paul Krassner (1960) ''(A Stereophonic Hoax )'', ''The Realist'' #16, March 16, 1960, pp.5-6〕〔Paul Krassner (1960) ''(Case History Of a TV Hoax )'', ''The Realist'' #18, June 18, 1960, pp.1, 3-4〕 This incarnation was ranked eighth on ''TV Guides 2001 list of "The 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Masquerade Party」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
