Bob Stewart, working for Goodson-Todman Productions, came up with the idea for the American television game show known as "Password." Allen Ludden, who was a well-known figure due to his prior work as the host of the G.E. College Bowl, presided over the event as the host. On CBS, the game show Password was initially broadcast for 1,555 daytime telecasts each weekday from October 2, 1961 until September 15, 1967. Additionally, the show was broadcast for weekly prime time broadcasts from January 2, 1962 until September 9, 1965 and from December 25, 1966 until May 22, 1967. Between April5, 1971 and June27,1975, ABC aired an additional 1,099 daytime programs. These programs were broadcast from Monday through Friday. On CBS, the show was hosted by Jack Clark and Lee Vines, and on ABC, John Harlan was in charge of the announcing duties. After that, there were two revivals of the show that aired on NBC from 1979 to 1982 and 1984 to1989, followed by a prime time version that aired on CBS from 2008 to 2009. In2013, TV Guide placed it at number eight on its list of the 60 greatest game shows of all time.
