Two for the Money(1952)

Two for the Money is a game show that aired from 1952 to 1957 across NBC and CBS. Hosted primarily by humorist Herb Shriner, with Sam Levenson taking over for the final season, the show became a fixture of early American television. Produced by the prolific team of Mark Goodson and Bill Todman, Two for the Money ran for one season on NBC before moving to CBS for four additional seasons. The program was initially sponsored by Old Gold cigarettes and exemplified the quiz show format that dominated 1950s broadcasting. Contestants competed for cash prizes while Shriner's sharp wit and comedic timing kept audiences entertained throughout the show's five-year run.
