It Pays To Be Ignorant - How Can You Tell A Jersey Cow

From-1944

Comedy, Gameshow

MC-Tom Howard

Announcer-Ken Roberts

Harry McNaugton, Lulu McConnell, George Shelton,

Nat Novick And His Orchestra

The first question (at the opening): "How can you tell a Jersey cow?"

"What town in Massachusetts had the Boston Tea Party?"

A quiz show spoof that lampooned other quiz shows of the time such as Information, Please and The Quiz Kids. Three nitwits made up the "board of experts". They spent more time trying to figure out what the question was than actually giving a sensible answer. The questions were ludicrous. Critics slated the show when it first appeared and said it wouldn’t last. They were wrong. The show ran for nine years.
