Really? I didn't know that and never ran across the fact in research. Did Alan Funt to the radio?

[William French]

Yep. He created the series and was involved in the different incarnations all the way into the '90s before his death. His son took over and did the last version that ran for many years on PAX (now Ion).

I'm not at all into reality TV, as you'll see from different comments over time, but this was a fave of mine, so it's nice to know that it really was Funt's baby all the way through. Thanks.
