Answer 1

Information Please went to television in 1952. From June 29 to September 21, it was telecast by CBS on Sunday nights at 9:30pm. Fadiman, Adams and Kieran were back in their usual seats, along with two guest celebrities, but that turned out to be the program's last moment of glory.

The popularity of the series also led to film shorts (1940-1943) and two card games. The show was satirized by the zany panel of radio's It Pays to Be Ignorant.

A variation of Information Please, this time a program devoted exclusively to music with the same four-member panel format, became popular when it was televised in Los Angeles in 1953. After two years of local success, Musical Chairs became a summer replacement series on NBC. The Bill Leyden-hosted game show lasted eleven weeks on the national airwaves.
