Game Show Confidential

Más información sobre el libro

The origins of game and quiz shows trace back to the 1930s with CBS's Professor Quiz, hosted by an individual lacking the qualifications implied by the title. This early example highlights a recurring theme of deception within the genre, where hosts often misrepresented their credentials. The book delves into the evolution of these shows, exploring their impact on entertainment and culture, while also examining the quirky personalities and behind-the-scenes antics that shaped the landscape of televised competitions.
