What's Going On? was a short-lived television game show that aired for five weeks beginning on 28 November 1954. The show aired on ABC and was a Mark Goodson-Bill Todman production. It was sponsored by Revlon and shot in New York City.
Lee Bowman served as host of the show. There were six panelists involved in the game: Kitty Carlisle, Hy Gardner, Audrey Meadows, Cliff Norton, Gene Raymond, and Susan Oakland.
Each week, half of the panelists would be sent to either record film of an activity or to participate in a live remote broadcast documenting or doing an activity. Examples include washing windows at the Empire State Building, eating dinner at a Chinese restaurant, or destroying money no longer suitable for circulation at the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank. The remaining panelists would ask questions about the activity. The questions were limited by timer in a manner similar to I've Got a Secret. In some of the segments, an audience member would be recruited to engage in the activity with a panelist. In those cases, a relative of the audiece member joined the panel attempting to discover the activity. Correctly guessing the activity resulted in a $100 prize. In the segments played exclusively by the panelists, there were no prizes.
In 2005, GSN broadcast four surviving episodes (the final one is missing) as part of its late night Black & White Overnight programming block. On August 28, 2006, they rebroadcast one of those surviving episodes.
