What happens

Pantomime Quiz, initially titled Pantomime Quiz Time and later Stump the Stars, is an American television game show produced and hosted by Mike Stokey. Running from 1947 to 1959, it was one of the few television series – along with The Arthur Murray Party, Down You Go, The Ernie Kovacs Show, The Original Amateur Hour, and Tom Corbett, Space Cadet – to air on all four TV networks in the United States during the Golden Age of Television.
