Jack Barry (March 20, 1918 - May 4, 1984) was an American television game show host and producer, whose career was nearly ruined in the quiz show scandal of the late 1950s but who made a remarkable comeback over a decade later.

Barry was dismissed from the nighttime after four weeks, with the quiz show scandal ramping up and Barry-Enright forced to sell their production operation to NBC.

 The Joker's Wild   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Jack Barry, a veteran TV host/producer who spent the entire 1960s in exile for being involved in the quiz show scandals of the 1950s, made a successful comeback in 1972 with The Joker's Wild, the game where "Knowledge is King and Lady Luck is Queen."
Barry was the host until his death from a stroke in 1984.
Barry proved that he had no rust from the nearly 14-year exile from television, and as time passed, the game seemed to get better and better and better, especially when the Joker's Jackpot bonus was replaced by a brand-new car.

 Interactive Television
Interactive television (ITV) represents the convergence of interactive technology and television which allows the exchange of information between the sender and the receiver.
By offering such control, interactive television has the potential to redefine what producers of television and viewers mean by "television" and to redefine communication processes in society.
By broadcasting a signal from one classroom where the instructor is teaching to another remote classroom with more students and in turn, broadcasting the signal from the remote classroom, a "true" class can be held which includes questions and answers from the remote classroom.

 Quiz and Game Shows
While a number of early radio and television quiz shows were produced locally and later picked up by networks, this trend ended in the early 1950s when increasing production values and budgets centralized the production of quiz shows under the control of networks and sponsors.
They are part of television's attempts in the 1950s to gain respectability and, simultaneously, a wider audience.

Enright and Barry believed they could attract more viewers if they could find guests that the audience would want to root for or against – and then choreograph these guests' involvement.
