Stump the Stars (1962-Nov-26)

[@altfactor]

Mike Stokey was the producer of this show and had hosted all previous versions (which were known as "Pantomime Quiz"). After this version had been on for thirteen weeks, Stokey replaced Pat Harrington as host. Reportedly, CBS executives pressured Stokey to fire Harrington and take over the hosting duties again. While this version was on CBS for only a single season (1962-63), the show was revived with new episodes for first run syndication, first in 1964 and again in the early 1970's.

Pat may have been a little strident for the network‘s taste.

@@witherblaze "Scorpios" the opening track on "Prince Charming" mentions Diana Dors. And she's in the video "Prince Charming" as the Fairy Godmother.

@jeribacm Thanks I just updated the description to remove Gisele MacKenzie and add Diana Dors.

[@brianarbenz1329]

The way Pat Harrington pronounced Lima, Ohio made people in that city fume, I’m sure.

[@jeribacm]

Pat Harrington hosting.

[@fromthesidelines]

Pat was the host during the first three months of the 1962-'63 season. Three weeks after this telecast, Mike Stokey resumed his dual role of producer and host for the remainder of the series.

[@RickBeatsWorld]

They gave that to Diana Dors. I call bullshit.
