Winner Take All

Winner Take All, an American radio-television game show, ran from 1946-1952 on CBS and NBC. It was the first game show produced by the Mark Goodson-Bill Todman partnership. The series was originally hosted by Ward Wilson, but is best known for being the first game hosted by Bill Cullen. Although the game format was very simple, Winner Take All served as the genesis for many future game-show formats. It was the first game to use lockout devices, and the first to use returning champions.

Comedy Battle

Comedy Battle

Humor is born on the stage, which, it seems, decides for itself who is worthy to stand on it. If the performance is not successful for the participant, the floor under his feet leans forward. At first, a little, but then another joke didn't work, and the corner becomes steeper, and after another failure, the head is occupied with completely unfunny thoughts - to hold on. And this is not the only technical surprise that awaits the contenders for victory: for bad jokes, participants receive a special mechanical "paw" on the fifth point.
