Well, Joseph Kicklighter didn't become a successful politician. He's a history professor at Auburn University in Alabama.

From the same producer of "THE $64,000 QUESTION", Andrew, "GIANT STEP" aired on Wednesdays at 7:30pm(et)- directly opposite ABC's "DISNEYLAND"...which was why it ended after one season, and General Mills became a co-sponsor of "THE BURNS AND ALLEN SHOW" the following season.

I saw a clip of this on a program of old game shows. Isn't that Don Pardo announcing? He mainly worked for NBC. U.S. Presidents have been a longtime hobby of mine. Where was this show when I needed a college scholarship? National Republican became the Whig party. I could have answered all of them. But that still wouldn't have been easy. Could you imagine a show like this now?

@Bu8956 It makes you wonder if the show was fixed or not.
