Thrilling Days of Yesteryear
 Tuesday, May 11, 2004
On this date in the Golden Age of Radio

From Those Were the Days:

1946 - Jack Barry, a familiar face on TV game shows, hosted Juvenile Jury on WOR radio in New York City. The show was such a hit after five weeks on the air that it debuted on the Mutual Broadcasting System coast to coast. Maybe Barry became a bit too familiar in 1959. It was Twenty One, the enormously popular show that Barry hosted, that led to the quiz show scandal that rocked television and the U.S. Congress.
