"House Party dabbled in everything. There were hunts for missing heirs; over the years the show found heirs whose estates totaled more than $1 million. There were contests, one of Linkletter's favorites being "What's in the House?," a guessing game with progressive clues and a grand prize. There were searches for colorful personalities. Who's the youngest grandmother in the audience, Linkletter would ask ... who's the youngest father? ... What woman has the longest hair? In 1945 he conducted weekly searches for the woman in the audience most recently married. This led to a series of nosy and embarrassing questions: How many children would she have? What was more popular nowadays, double beds or single beds? But far and away the most popular feature was Linkletter's talks with children."
