Musical Chairs (1955 game show)

Musical Chairs is an American primetime panel game show that ran from July 9 to September 17, 1955 on NBC.

The host was Bill Leyden and the show featured voice actor Mel Blanc, composer Johnny Mercer, and orchestra leader Bobby Troup as regular panelists.

Viewers were encouraged to mail questions about music to the network in an attempt to challenge the knowledge of a four-person panel (the three regular panelists plus a guest).

Viewers who submitted questions that stumped the panel were awarded 21-inch televisions from RCA, the parent company of NBC at the time.

Host Bill Leyden moved on from his first television network program to the game show that established him as a household name in America for the latter half of the 1950s: It Could Be You.
