Quiz Scandals 1958 Hit Makers Hard But Some Survived
The 1958 television quiz scandals disrupted big shows but most workers endured. Producers fared worst with several fading from view. Indicted Albert Freedman of Twenty-One faced trial later. Jack Barry moved from quiz shows to other TV roles then to a radio post. Hal March joined Broadway acting, Dan Enright shifted to film production, and Mert Koplin returned as a producer on P. M. East. Louis Cowan moved from CBS to Brandeis University research, Jack Narz hosted Seven Keys, Ralph Story anchored a Hollywood daily, Sonny Fox ran children’s programs, and George Dewitt returned to night club comedy.
