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.
