Sounds like Jack was one syllable away from giving away the previous answer too.

Amusing

Actually, Jack was kept out of the loop for a while in the beginning, but he eventually figured it out for himself one way or another. Following that, he did help cover up the rigging, but he had no actual part in the rigging itself. Not for a single moment in his career did Jack ever know what was going to happen on stage before it happened. My guess is Jack wanted his reactions to be genuine to help hide the truth.

@mrmatchgame Actually CBS did pull a limit. Since TJW appeared on many CBS O&O's, if B&E wanted the show to stay syndicated on those stations, CBS required that they needed a limit. Since CBS stations were, at the time, generally the best performing stations in many markets, they had to give in to stay on those stations.

Is Jack Barry really a Tom Jones fan? Maybe he's been listening to too much "She's A Lady" at that time.
-
At the time of this episode, Enright had no involvement with TJW. That didn't come until 2 years later, during the final CBS season. But you do make a good point, nonetheless.

In addition, Pete Townshend and The Who are also responsible for the theme songs in the CSI series on CBS.

Um.. Great Britian is comprised of England, Wales (where Welsh comes from), Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

Isn't Tom Jones Welsh and not British?

Jack Barry should have been used to giving away answers. In the 1950's/60's, he was a central figure in the big game show scandal, where the answers were "fed" to the contestants. Dont tell me that wasnt going thru his head as he held up that card !!

Jack did not have any part in the quiz show scandals, he was only guilty by association with his TV partner Dan Enright.

Given that Jack was Enright's partner, and that lower level producers like Freedman and Felsher were in on it, I find it hard to believe that Jack had his hands completely clean - or that he didn't know that Dan was doing something. Why else would he ever again collaborate with Enright?

I believe that Jack was guilty by association, it was on record in TV Guide that Jack never knew about it.
