 Question. Which program is in Guinness World Records as the world's longest running TV quiz show? It's academic! It's academic is a Saturday morning television program for high school students. The show has been broadcast in the Washington area for 50 years. Teams from local schools face subjects like history, literature, mathematics, science and sports. Susan Altman is the producer of the show. First of all, it's a great age group to work with. They're fun, they're enthusiastic. They say funny things without even meaning to half the time. Ms. Altman's mother, Sophie, was a TV producer in the 1950s. She started its academic after local officials asked her to create a program that showed extraordinary students. And at that time, this was in 1961, the United States of course was going through a lot of upheaval with school integration. And they wanted things to help out, to make the schools look good and to show that integration could work and work well. The show's host, Mac McGarry, says the teams became more diverse over the years. When we first started, the young people from various countries were not in evidence so much. But now each program presents young people from all over the world or at least descendants of people from all over the world. So this is a microcosm of the way America is today. Mac McGarry is 85 years old. He has hosted its academic since the beginning. He has asked more than 200,000 questions. He's gotten more than a few funny answers. We had a question one time. Who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo? And the young fellow answered, Duke Ellington. Another time, we had a question. I thought, who along with Frederick Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto? Groucho Marx. The correct answers are the Duke of Wellington and Karl Marx. Kelly Reader knows that. She led the team from Rockville High School in Maryland last year. Me and all the other people who are on the team, we've put in a lot of effort over the years and a lot of time to be where we are. And I mean, it's a really huge honor to end up on the A team. Her school has won the championship on its academic several times. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton competed on the show when she was a teenager. So did astronaut Timothy Creamer. Maybe one of these students will also rise to fame. I'm Barbara Klein.
