Q&A with the authors of Celebrities on TV Game Shows 1950-1999 Volume 1
How did this book come about?
It started with a phone call about a single game show question. That call turned into a half-hour discussion about the genre, which then led to back-and-forth e-mails about different stars appearing on game shows over the years. After a while, it occurred to us that there might be a book to be written about this.
Why did you want to write a book on this particular subject?
Since the rise of the Internet, a lot of information has become available – and, unfortunately, so has a lot of misinformation. Because of that, we wanted to provide a source on this subject that was as accurate as possible. We also felt it was necessary to preserve as much information as we can about this fascinating subject.
Where did you find all this information?
The shows themselves, obviously, were a primary source when available. Beyond that, we’re both TV Guide collectors, which helped a lot. We also subscribe to several online newspaper archives, and some of our contacts in the industry were nice enough to provide us with information.
What were some of the most surprising facts you uncovered during your research?
Going through listings of some of the 1950s titles, it’s amazing how many important figures in government appeared on shows like “Masquerade Party” and “What’s My Line?” – senators, governors, mayors, and even some future presidents, such as Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter.
Also, the wide scope of personalities who did game shows is staggering: actors, comedians, musicians, models, athletes, columnists, CEOs, news anchors – you name it. People like Joan Crawford, Groucho Marx, Margaret Truman, Mickey Mantle, Aretha Franklin, and Hugh Downs have all played different TV games because they enjoyed them. Some have even had spans of 40 years or more on games, like June Lockhart.
Do you have any personal favorite game shows?
Some of our all-time favorites are “Concentration,” “To Tell the Truth,” “Match Game,” “Hollywood Squares,” “Password,” and the various incarnations of “Pyramid.”
Other than compiling celebrity lists, do you have other game show-related hobbies?
We each collect episodes of classic game shows and still photographs from the sets.
Did you ever do anything to help pass the time while you were doing your research?
Listening to jazz always helps the process, as well as top 40 hits from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Also, a can or two of Mountain Dew Real Sugar speeds things along, though it’s getting harder to find!
Have you thought about what your next project might be?
There’s a lot of game show-related trivia out there, which could make for a fun read. We’ve also been kicking around the idea of a book that goes more in-depth about some popular game show personalities, such as Arlene Francis, Nipsey Russell, and Peggy Cass.
I was in the 660 FICO range due to a crypto investment scam that made me lose over $189,000 USDT, I even borrowed some of this money because of the high RIO just to buy my own house but wanted to be back in the mid to high 700s. Few months after I started the program with Hackwest at writeme dot com my mid FICO was 750 and my high FICO was 799. Bottom line – it works and I would not hesitate sending anyone to Hack West for credit consultation and repair. Credit affects insurance rates, mortgage rates, auto loan rates, Utility down payments, etc. It’s a no-brainer to get your credit repaired immediately if you want to get the best possible rates on those big ticket purchases in life. West didn’t only fix my credit report, they also helped to recover my money from the scammers who claimed to double my investment.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE
I’m from Kentucky, USA, and one day, as I traveled to the capital city, I encountered a friend who was living a lavish life, exuding an air of success and prosperity. Intrigued by his newfound affluence, I inquired about the source of his wealth. He enthusiastically introduced me to CryptoGrowth Investments, a company he claimed was revolutionizing the investment landscape with its remarkable returns. Captivated by his glowing endorsement and the allure of financial freedom, I decided to take the plunge. Without a second thought, I invested a substantial sum of $130,000 driven by the promise of impressive profits. As the days turned into weeks, my investment flourished, ballooning to an astonishing $300,150. The initial thrill of success was intoxicating, and I felt invincible, eager to withdraw a portion of my earnings to assist a friend in need. The excitement quickly morphed into disillusionment. What should have been a straightforward withdrawal process spiraled into a convoluted ordeal. After enduring a series of perplexing verification requests, CryptoGrowth Investments unexpectedly demanded an upfront payment of 20 percent of the total amount before any transaction could proceed. This shocking revelation felt like a profound betrayal as the trust I had placed in them crumbled before my eyes.
