Guest Panelists

A guest panelist is anyone who isn't one of the "Big Six" regulars.  This includes even the earliest panelists who were, presumably, intended to be regulars, as well as several "bright young actresses" who stayed for weeks at a time in the early going.  Some of the Big Six may also be listed as guests, as follows:

Bill Cullen joined the show on episode 3 in 1952, and stayed throughout.  Bill is never listed as a guest panelist.
Henry Morgan joined the show on episode 20 in 1952, and stayed throughout.  Henry is never listed as a guest panelist.
Jayne Meadows joined the show on episode 3 in 1952 and stayed until episode 309 in November, 1958.  Her later appearances on the panel are noted below.
Faye Emerson joined the show on episode 28 in 1953 and stayed (with frequent absences) until episode 267 on New Year's Day, 1958.  Her later appearances on the panel are noted below.
Betsy Palmer joined the show as a regular on episode 268 in 1958 and stayed throughout.  Her earlier appearances on the panel are noted below.
Bess Myerson joined the show on episode 314 in 1958 and stayed throughout.  Even though she was not truly a regular for the first few months, Bess is never listed as a guest panelist.

Many guest panelists also appeared on other episodes in different roles.  Those appearances can be found in the Guests page.
