Twenty Questions
Children had been playing this game for years before it made the airwaves.

Edgar Bergen-Charlie McCarthy Show – May 10, 1953
The newspaper listings took very little notice of Stewart’s guest appearance on this show, with most listings similar to the one below from the Independent Press-Telegram, Long Beach, CA: This show is not available, but since all of Stewart’s other appearances have been documented, this is most likely the program in which Jimmy and Mortimer…
