How long did this show last? This is the only episode I've ever seen, so I'm assuming it's probably the only surviving episode left. I can't find any information on the show, except for who the host was and who some of the guests were on the show.
This actually aired in the spring of 1954, on CBS' Thursday night schedule at 10:30pm(et)[ right after Reed Hadley's "PUBLIC DEFENDER"]; "Red Garters", the movie Joanne Gilbert appeared in, was released at the end of March '54 (so this was probably telecast that April). The sponsor was The Toni Company, makers of "Prom" home permanent and "White Rain" shampoo. Two years later, Bill began hosting "THE PRICE IS RIGHT"

That sounds like Johnny Olson announcing. Thanks for posting this game show. Bill was 35 when he did this. I have never seen it before.
