Mark Goodson(1915-1992)

Met former radio disc jockey and college student, Bill Cullen, who gave him his first job Winner Take All (1948) on radio, before transferring to television. The friendship would last for more than 35 years, before Cullen stepped down Goodson's company.

My occupation as a game show creator/producer is a strange calling in life. However, I had visions of creating radio and television games, and so did Bill Todman, so we teamed up and took on the challenge together. We had a love-hate business partnership. If I loved an idea, he hated it, and vice-versa. If we agreed, one of us wasn't doing his job.
