Game show or not, what was Cullen's very last public appearance ?

 Bill's most successful show as a celeb panelist would be IGAS, which he did for fifteen years(1952-67). As a host, it is the original TPIR(1956-65)

His last TV appearance was the 6/1/87-6/5/87 week of the $25K Pyramid, playing alongside Betty White. He did some radio spots on parenting advice in Summer 1989, as Matt O. reported some time ago.

Hey, Matt O. isn't the only Bill Cullen dude around here!

Anyway, Zach covered the first question fine, but "Public appearance" is awfully vague. A "definite maybe" here would be an interview in October 1988 on WNBC radio's last day of programming before it became all-sports.
