Stump the Stars | 11-19-62 | Episode #6

Hollywood stars compete in Game of Charades. Long running show started in 1948, hosted by Mike Stokey. Originally called PANTOMIME QUIZ.

Television’s first treatment of “Charades” as played by Hollywood celebrities. The giveaway was the use of gestures that defined “film”, “TV show”, “book” or “song” as well as “small word (a, an, the)”and gestures for syllables, number of words, and expand or stretch . I remember later as I grew up that “Charades” used these gestures from the show I remembered in my youth as “Stump the Stars.”
