Quiz Kids

Interested in game shows? Then you may want to attend Game Show Congress 4, a convention which is being held in Glendale, California on August 19-21. They'll have panels and screenings and games and they're presenting lifetime achievement awards to Monty Hall, Tom Kennedy and Jack Narz. Basically, it's a gathering of folks who love quiz programs and such.

Of special note is that on Saturday, my pal Stuart Shostak is hosting a panel discussion of key production members of the original NBC version of Concentration including the show runner and the all time champion contestant of the show. I'm a little busy that weekend but I may try to get out there for that. I always thought that was a great program.

The folks behind this gala weekend are looking to get as many game show fans there as possible, of course. But they also want to make contact with people who've worked in the game show industry who might be interested in being a part of it all. If you are one such person, you might want to contact them through their website.
