Television show host Jack Barry (1918-1984)
began his career in game shows in 1947, hosting
Juvenile Jury
. He later served as host of
Wisdom of the Ages
(1952),
Winky-Dink and You
(1953),
The Big Surprise
(1955-1956),
Tic Tac Dough
(1956) and
Concentration
(1958, nighttime version).
Barry is perhaps best remembered for hosting the quiz show
Twenty One
(1956-1958), produced by Jack Barry and Dan Enright Productions, which debuted on NBC-TV on September 10, 1956.
On November 28 of that year, Charles Van Doren, a college professor, first appeared as a contestant on
Twenty One
, defeating champion Herb Stempel on December 5th. It was later revealed that Stempel, Van Doren and other contestants had been supplied with the answers and told when to lose, leading to a Congressional investigation.
Neither Barry nor Enright were indicted, but
Twenty One
, which had become the first regular show to beat
I Love Lucy
in its time slot, was cancelled.
Barry's career was not over, however. He later hosted
The Generation Gap
(1969),
The Reel Game
(1971),
The Joker's Wild
(1972-1984) and
Break the Bank
(1976). He also made guest appearances on
The Addams Family
(1964, as a reporter) and
Batman
(1966, playing a newscaster). Lightly toned. Note on verso in unknown hand. Otherwise, fine condition.
