Quiz Kids was a popular radio-TV series of the 1940s and 1950s. It was
created by Chicago public relations and advertising man, Louis G. Cowan.
Originally sponsored by Alka-Seltzer, the series was first broadcast on
NBC from Chicago, June 28, 1940, airing as a summer replacement show for
Alec Templeton Time. It continued on radio for the next 13 years. On
television, the show was seen on NBC and CBS from July 6, 1949, to
September 27, 1956.
The premise involved host Joe Kelly asking questions sent in by listeners
and researched by Eliza Hickok. The answers were supplied by a panel of
five children, chosen for their high IQs. The first Quiz Kid was
six-year-old nature expert Gerard Darrow, and for the initial premiere
panel, he was joined by Mary Ann Anderson, Joan Bishop, Cynthia Cline, Van
Dyke
Tiers and Charles Schwartz.
Other Quiz Kids of the 1940s were Joan Alizier, Claude Brenner, Geraldine
Hamburg, Mary Clare McHugh, war refugee Gunther Hollander and math experts
Joel Kupperman and Richard Williams. Panelists rotated throughout the
1940s, but they were no longer eligible to participate once they reached
the age of 16. One of the notable Quiz Kids is the Nobel
Prize-winning biologist James D. Watson. Others include actor and dialect
coach Bob Easton, legendary Hollywood acting coach Roy London, producer
Harve Bennett and actress Vanessa Brown. And let us not forget Jack Benny
and Fred Allen.
So grab the kids and the rest of the family
for a fun night of “school work” listening to the Quiz Kids. Plus laugh
with Jack Benny, Fred Allen and more special guests. You won’t
want to miss a minute of all the fascinating and informative tidbits the
Quiz Kids give you in over 36 hours and 76 episodes.
