The premiere broadcast of this primetime game show with its new title "Stump The Stars." When the show first debuted on October 4th, 1949 on CBS, it was called "Pantomime Quiz" and remained so until 1959. Then following a three-year absence it returned with its new title. The half-hour quiz was produced and hosted by Mike Stokey with Pat Harrington Jr. the host. Two teams, each with four celebrities played charades. One member of the team would act out the charade and the other three members were given two minutes to guess it correctly. In week 14, Mike Stokey returned as the host, replacing Pat Harrington, Jr. After a five-year absence, the show returned in Syndication in 1968, lasting until 1970.
