dollis1963, I remembered it as being "The 64 Thousand Dollar Question". The contestant was placed in a soundproof booth when answering the questions. I have a vague recollection of this show as a kid.

dollis1963, originally the show was called "Twenty-One". After the scandal and subsequent cancellation, the show came back as "The Sixty-Four Thousand Dollar Question".

I remember "Happy Days" doing an episode about this. Ritchie wouldn't do it though.
