QUIZ KIDS



This is a real photo postcard showing the 7 Quiz Kids as well as the quizmaster Joe Kelly. The Quiz Kids was a popular radio (and later TV) series from the 1940s and 1950s. Originally sponsored by Alka-Seltzer, the series was first broadcast on NBC from Chicago on June 28, 1940. It continued on radio for the next 13 years. On television, the show was seen on NBC and CBS from July 6, 1949 to July 5, 1953, with Joe Kelly as quizmaster, and again from January 12 to September 27, 1956, with Clifton Fadiman as host.
