Another attempt by Mark Goodson and Bill Todman to duplicate the success of their own "What's My Line?"

On the show, hosted by Lee Bowman, three celebrity panelists sat in the studio and asked yes or no questions to figure out where in the world three other celebrity panelists were, and what they were doing there. Among the regular panelists were Kitty Carlisle, Hy Gardner, and both Jayne and Audrey Meadows.

More than anything else, the technical limitations of early TV doomed this show, which aired on ABC for only five weeks, from November 28, 1954, until December 26, 1954. The remote segments had to be fairly close to the New York City studio (although on one episode, a live hookup from Chicago was tried, with Audrey Meadows at the Federal Reserve Bank there to burn worn-out paper money). Also, it was apparently hard to figure out things for the panelists to be doing that were interesting, and also challenging yet not completely impossible for the other panelists to guess.

Game Show Network has broadcast reruns of "What's Going On?" for no good reason other than they paid a blanket license fee for the Goodson-Todman library, and they wanted to get their money's worth.
