(the TV Game Show book)

by Jefferson Graham

Amazon says:
This well-reflected book is all about what makes game shows tick throughout the eras, even going back to the 1950s with highlights like the quiz show scandal of Twenty-One, and behind the scenes of shows like the $100,000 Pyramid with Dick Clark, Jeopardy with Alex Trebek, and The Price Is Right with Bob Barker. The book helps us understand what made game shows classic back then, and delight us today.

Amazon says:
The Ultimate TV Game Show Book is a virtual cornucopia of fun, frivolity and fabulous facts from more than fifty years of games shows. This book is dessert-delicious delightful and begging to be dipped into over and over. How many catchy game show phrases can you quote? What To Tell the Truth imposters later became celebrities in their own right? What popular game show host changed his name from Colin Emm? I could go on and on, but you're just going to have to read the book for yourself to find these answers and so many more. Steve Ryan and Fred Wostbrock have spent many years working in the game show industry. Their knowledge of and love for the format is readily apparent.
