Howard Felsher testified before a House subcommittee that about 30 contestants were advised to lie to a New York grand jury investigating rigging on quiz shows. He said 75 percent of night-show performances were rigged after he became producer in 1958, and admitted contacting 20 to 30 contestants. He claimed panic and fear of disgrace led him to deny aiding contestants.
