Matt Roush says...
“Come on down!” “The survey says.” “Let’s make it a true Daily Double.” Brands don’t get much bigger than TV’s most iconic game shows, with catchphrases that have stood the test of time. The Mega-Brands series turns to the colorful history of TV visionaries Mark Goodson, a producer who got started in radio, and Merv Griffin, the former nightclub singer whom Goodson hired to host one of his many game shows and went on to become his greatest rival, creating Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune to compete with Goodson hits, most notably The Price Is Right and his syndicated smash Family Feud. The episode shows how these concepts evolved and continue to grow decades later. Among the experts interviewed: Jeopardy! champ Austin Rogers.
