Information Please radio show

Topics: Radio comedy, Radio quiz

Language: English

Information Please was an American radio quiz show, which ran from 1938 to 1951. For more details, please see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Please

The regular moderator was Clifton Fadiman of the New Yorker magazine.

The three regular panelists were Franklin P. Adams (known as FPA) and John Kieran, who appeared every week, and Oscar Levant, who appeared biweekly for most of the run. The fourth chair was filled by a different panelist each week. There would occasionally be a fifth panelist, or a guest who would speak before the quiz or during one of the commercial slots.

The announcer was usually Milton Cross (sometimes assisted by Basil Ruysdael) until 2/5/43, then Ben Grauer until 1947.

Some episodes from 1944 on are rebroadcasts from the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS), with commercials removed, and classical music added to fill the running time.

The 1950 episodes are shorter, with no commercials included (local stations would supply their own).
