McGee And Molly in 1945.

The future Perry Mason, Raymond Burr, was in two Stars Over Hollywood productions in 1992.
Truth Or Consequences creator, Ralph Edwards, hosted the show on the radio and the very first TV season of Truth Or Consequences.
It didn’t do that well in prime time. The biggest success was in daytime with Bob Barker, the legendary The Price Is
Right host, as the longest running host from 1956–1974. The show made Bob Barker a star.
For a popular singer like Frank Sinatra, he bombed big time on TV! For some stupid reason, the show was against NBC's popular
show, Your Show Of Shows, in the first season and the last season he was against the #1 show of the season, The Texaco Star
Theatre. Poor old Frank, he didn't have a real chance on TV.
Hey, man! Let's take a chance on Don Ameche! He is giving away prizes LIVE on national TV. Oh, boy! I can't wait till my
turn! Sadly, my turn never came. Take A Chance was cancelled on Xmas eve.

as Whose Line Is It Anyway on ABC in 1998.
The Cisco Kid was the first hit in syndication and one of the first popular filmed programs on TV. The series was filmed
in color; most stations showed them in B/W.
Ben Alexander also produced Party Time At Club Roma. He was a former child star in the movies. Party Time was his first
