You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.86.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:It could be you 1961.JPG|thumb|Bill Leyden in a publicity photo for ''It Could Be You'', 1961]]
'''William Leyden''' (February 1, 1917,<ref>Born in 1917 per [http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi Social Security Death Index under name '''William Leyden''']</ref> in Chicago, Illinois – March 11, 1970, in Hollywood, California) was a television [[game show]] host and announcer who [[master of ceremonies|emceed]] six game shows, including ''[[It Could Be You]]'' (1956–61), ''[[Your First Impression]]'' (1962–64, with [[Dennis James]]), and ''[[You're Putting Me On]]'' (1969). In addition, he hosted movies on [[KTTV]], and played small roles in a handful of [[film]]s, including [[Jerry Lewis]]'s ''[[The Patsy (1964 film)|The Patsy]]'' (1964).

During [[World War II]] Leyden served in the [[United States Marine Corps|Marine Corps]]. After returning to [[Chicago]]  following the war, Leyden worked as an [[NBC page]] while getting a degree in [[Archaeology]] from [[DePaul University]]. Leyden started his broadcast career in [[Cleveland]] as a radio announcer. Then moved to LA and became a [[disc jockey]] on stations [[KMPC]] and [[KFWB]] in [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]] and later served as an announcer for the syndicated radio series ''The [[Liberace]] Program'' (1954–55) before moving over to television, where he hosted several game shows, the most successful of which was ''[[It Could Be You]] . [http://projects.latimes.com/hollywood/star-walk/bill-leyden/] [https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/85906728]''

During his run on ''It Could Be You'', Leyden was touted by announcer [[Wendell Niles]] as "the man who will amaze you with what he knows about you",[http://outtacontext.com/life/notes/loc/nbctranscript.html] partly because Leyden was often helped onstage and in the audience by well-concealed [[TelePrompter]]s and "a team of spies and operatives" who investigated potential contestants.[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2342/is_2_35/ai_97074190/pg_10]

Although he was extremely popular, both in front of the camera and behind the microphone, Leyden's chronic health problems limited his on-screen work in the latter half of the 1960s. Regular panelists [[Bill Cullen]] and [[Larry Blyden]] filled in for Leyden on ''You're Putting Me On'', with Blyden becoming the permanent host of the show when Leyden suffered a [[cerebral hemorrhage]] in September 1969.  He died six months later at the age of 53. For his television work, Leyden received a star on the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]].
