GAME SHOW HOST NARZ DEAD AT 85
Beloved U.S. chat show host JACK NARZ has died, aged 85.
Narz hosted popular shows like Video Village, Seven Keys and I'll Bet throughout the 1960s.
He also guest hosted 1970s hits like Concentration and Beat the Clock.
But, despite his successes, many will remember Narz for the Dotto scandal in the late 1950s.
The game show, which he hosted, was abruptly taken off the air in August 1958 amid a cheating scandal; a contestant went to the police claiming that the programme was fixed.
Narz was questioned by investigators following the show's cancellation, and maintained throughout his life he knew nothing of any irregularities on the programme.
