About Twenty One
Twenty-One is an American game show originally hosted by Jack Barry that initially aired on NBC from September 12, 1956 to October 16, 1958. Produced by Jack Barry-Dan Enright Productions, the show featured two contestants playing against each other in separate isolation booths, answering general knowledge questions to earn 21 total points. The program became notorious when it was found to be rigged as part of the 1950s quiz show scandals, which nearly caused the demise of the entire genre in the wake of United States Senate investigations. The 1994 film Quiz Show is based on these events. A new version of the show aired on NBC and PAX from January 9 to May 28, 2000 with Maury Povich as host.
