Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Game Show that was the first Mark Goodson-Bill Todman production, which ran on CBS and NBC from 1946-52. Two contestants (one signified by a buzzer, the other by a bell) competed to answer general-knowledge questions, with a wrong answer giving the opponent a free guess. First to score three points won the game and a nice prize, then faced off against another challenger. Occasionally, the contestants would be blindfolded and try to figure out what item they were given to hold.Beginning on CBS radio in June 1946, the first host was Ward Wilson. In September, Wilson stepped down and the announcer, a young man from Pittsburgh named Bill Cullen, became "temporary host"...but did so well that the position became permanent.A nighttime television version aired from July 1948 to October 1950 with Bud Collyer as host. While a daytime version was mounted four months later with Barry Gray as emcee, it fell after a mere ten weeks. The radio version, which Collyer had been hosting since August 1950, ended in February 1952.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Later that month, Winner returned as a daytime series on NBC with Cullen returning as emcee and Don Pardo as announcer. Although Cullen proved himself just as good on television as he was on radio, this version was sent packing by stiff competition upon the conclusion of its ninth week.The show's final run began in June 1952 as part of the Peacock's new daily variety series Matinee In New York, again with Cullen hosting. The show lasted 13 weeks this time.Winner was not only the first Goodson-Todman production and Cullen's first hosting job, but it was also the first game show to use lockout devices and the first to use returning champions, which are now both staples of the genre. | |

Carried by the Host: The show was pretty much talking to the contestants and having them answer questions. | |

Game Show Winnings Cap | |
| Winner Take All / int_b1fbb55b | comment |
Game Show Winnings Cap: Champions kept playing until they lost, a fact the unsold ''Play For Keeps!'; (see below) made clear due to beginning with a "defending champion" who had "already won" $15,000. | |

Home Game: A quiz book was published in 1949 by Crown containing 2,000 questions and answers. Although a(n unnamed) research staff is mentioned, Todman and Goodson are credited as editors. note (Yes, in that order. At that point, they hadn't yet decided which order they liked best: for a while, when closing out the show as the announcer, Bill Cullen alternated between calling it "a Mark Goodson-Bill Todman production" and "a Bill Todman-Mark Goodson production".) | |

Pilot | |
| Winner Take All / int_c3943bf3 | comment |
Pilot: In November 1955, three years after Matinee was canned, a revival attempt was shot for CBS as Play For Keeps!, hosted by Sonny Fox. The format was essentially the same, except the champion now chose a category for gameplay and wagered any or all of their current winnings. Nearly 60 years later, the Buzzr network (owned by Fremantle, which owns the Goodson-Todman properties) aired Pilot #2 as part of a special "Lost and Found" week. | |

Lovely Assistant: Two were used. While they alternated escorting the new challenger in and handing the host a small information card, both participated in the "feeling" games that were occasionally done. | |
