This Day in Game Show History 365 Commemorations and Celebrations Vol 4 October Through December

Game shows have more stories to tell than they have washers and dryers to give away. This Day in Game Show History is a remarkable four-volume set chronicling the best stories-on camera and off-and the most noteworthy milestones for every day in the year. In this volume, you'll find out which game show used 50 gallons of whipped cream and 144 balloons per taping...the film star who credited The Hollywood Squares with launching his career...how a radio quiz show caused an outbreak of mumps among the New York Yankees...which game show host invented the first artificial heart...why Bob Barker personally disliked having beautiful women appear as contestants on his shows...and lots, lots more! ADAM NEDEFF has experienced TV game shows from both sides of the camera. As a contestant, he has played Trivial Pursuit: America Plays, Catch-21, and Who's Still Standing? As an employee, he has worked for The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune. He is a freelance writer and former disc jockey originally from Vienna, West Virginia, and now residing in Glendale, California.
