Information Please was a radio quiz
show. The show was created by Dan Golenpaul, and aired on NBC from May 17,
1938 to June 25, 1948. The series moderator was Clifton Fadiman . A panel of
experts would attempt to answer questions submitted by listeners. If the
panelists were stumped, the questioner earned five dollars and a complete
edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. As the years went by, the prize
money increased accordingly. Panel regulars included writer-actor-pianist
Oscar Levant, newspaper columnists and renowned wits and intellectuals
Franklin P. Adams and John Kieran. Guest panelists included Fred Allen,
Boris Karloff, Clare Booth Luce, Dorothy Parker, S. J. Perelman, Sigmund
Spaeth, Rex Stout, Jan Struther, Deems Taylor, Alexander Woollcott, and
Orson Welles. What could be better than being entertained,
learning and laughing. With over 210 episodes and 100 plus hours you will
have a wealth of information to share.
