Game Shows - twenty one


Expert: John Bergman - 1/16/2006

Question
I have always wondered if Geritol knew about the corruption going on behind twenty one , if they did why didnt they pull support.
I also wonder why NBC never did the same , the Congressional Investigation showed they had knowledge of what was hapening.

Answer
Dear Chris:


Those are really good questions.  I knew that Geritol had knowledge of what was going and even the president for marketing for the company was into it because of the sales that was generated for Geritol when the show was a big hit.

As for NBC, that's a new one. I didn't think that they had knowledge that this was happening until all of this controversy came out.  I knew that after the game show scandals, NBC bought CONCENTRATION from Barry and Enright and made into their own show.


Let me ask you, do you think Jack Barry had anything to do with the game shows?  I'v egot some info on that if you like to know.

JOHN
