American Scandal

Quiz Show Rigging | The Pressure Cooker | 5

15 Apr 2025

Description

Television producers Howard Blumenthal and Bob Boden weren’t old enough to experience the quiz show scandal of the 1950s firsthand, but it had a major impact on their lives and careers. Blumenthal’s father helped produce the rigged quiz show Twenty-One, and Boden worked alongside disgraced producer Dan Enright in the 1980s following his return to television. The two went on to co-found the National Archives of Game Show History and today, they join Lindsay to talk about the legacy of the quiz show scandal.Be the first to know about Wondery’s newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
