What happens

Just Men! is an American game show that aired on NBC Daytime from January 3 to April 1, 1983. The show starred Betty White, who won an Emmy award for her work on the show, with Steve Day announcing. It pitted two female contestants who were asked to predict answers to a series of yes/no questions posed previously to a panel of seven male celebrities. The show was created and produced by Rick Rosner, who was producing CHiPs at the time for NBC, and was a joint production of Rosner Television, Century Towers Productions, and Orion Television. This was one of two collaborations among the three entities. Rosner was later responsible for reviving another NBC game show, Hollywood Squares, which he co-produced with Century Towers with Orion distributing. The general format of the game, in which the contestant determines whether a celebrity answers "yes" or "no" to a question, is similar to Heatter-Quigley's The Celebrity Game, which aired on CBS from 1964 to 1965. This was also the first game show in history to have two female contestants playing prior to another short-lived, male-oriented game show Mind of a Man hosted by comedian DeRay Davis that also featured two female contestants playing that aired on Game Show Network (GSN) in 2014.
