He would ask a total of 13 questions, with one additional question asked by an announcer on the station airing the show. Viewers wrote down a 15th question of their own, which was used as a tie-breaker. The show tried to avoid being "radio with pictures" by using a blackboard in some of the questions (in one episode, Cullen slammed his hand, covered in chalk, on the blackboard during a question about mafia symbolism), and by sometimes having Cullen hold props related to the question. A total of 26 episodes were produced, which were distributed by Screen Gems. (en)
