Eighth Anniversary Show

This is a special show marking eight years on the air. It kicks off with a tricky question: "What's a way to write the year 2000 that would make you think of one of the Quiz Kids?" Then Harve Fischman, who used to be on the show, calls in from UCLA where he goes to school. He talks about what some of the other former Quiz Kids are up to these days.

Quiz Kids is a radio and TV series originally broadcast in the 1940s and 1950s. Created by Chicago public relations and advertising man Louis G. Cowan, and 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 July 5, 1953, with Joe Kelly as quizmaster, and again from January 12 to September 27, 1956, with Clifton Fadiman as host.
