Host Tom Howard (photo facing chalkboard), "Experts" (photo L to R) Gene Shelton, Lulu McConnell, and Harry McNaughton... Created by Bob and Ruth Howell, It Pays To Be Ignorant" was one of the dumbest and stupidest shows ever to hit the air. The cast was made up of retired vaudeville/Broadway/film comedy stars that made the shows almost painfully predictable but always funny. The "Experts" would often launch into a mass of arguments, insults and gags to the anger and frustration of the host, Tom Howard... who vainly tried to bring his maniacs back under control. It had a nine year run... it was dumb alright - dumb like a fox. More episodes to come to be found in the playlist "Game Shows".
