 Mike Wallace, Hugh Downs: Game Show Hosts
Wallace previously made his mark in journalism as an aggressive, chain-smoking interrogator on a one-on-one show which started in New York as “Night-Beat.” The show graduated to the ABC network, and soon became known as the “The Mike Wallace Interview,” airing from 1957-58.
He had become “Mike” by the time CBS hired him as moderator of its 1951 summer-replacement quiz/audience participation show, “Guess Again.” That game show was twice as successful one hosted by Jackie Gleason 10 years later called “You’re in the Picture.” Gleason’s show was aired once, and n’er again; Wallace’s show lasted two weeks.
This was a role re-reversal for Wallace; the tormentor of interviewees the year before had reverted to the role of the genial host of a light-hearted game show.

 Mike Wallace at Hollywood.com
The craggy Wallace, wizened to the point of razor-sharpness, paired up with the younger, less flamboyant Morley Safer (who joined the show in 1970 when Reasoner left), became the Batman and Robin of investigative TV reporting, their confrontational interview style making them the Heckle and Jeckle of what wags dubbed "ambush journalism".
To be sure, Wallace often brought a rueful wit to his work (as in responses to his perennially jet-fl hair), and his forceful, organized persona was at least as likable as it was intimidating.
The winner of countless Emmys and a regular host and guest on many TV documentary series and specials, the incisive, penetrating Wallace was for half a century as intelligent as he was traditional, as entertaining as he was enlightening.
