[[NBC]]'s longest-running daytime [[Game Show]] was created in the late 1950s by [[Jack Barry]], Dan Enright, Robert Noah and Buddy Piper, just before the quiz scandals broke. The '''''Concentration''''' format was simple: Two contestants took turns matching prizes on a board of 30 numbered panels, hoping to solve the underlying rebus puzzle. It ran almost 15 years, from August 25, 1958, to March 23, 1973.
Jack Barry was the original producer of ''Concentration'', as well as ''[[21 (game show)|21]]'' and ''[[Tic-Tac-Dough]]''. Shortly into the run, NBC took over production of ''Concentration'' and canned ''Twenty-One''. Hugh Downs, most notable to news fans as a ''Today Show'' anchor, hosted from 1958-69. Barry himself helmed a four-episode nighttime version, which replaced the aforementioned ''Twenty-One''. A second nighttime edition, this time in color, aired for six months in 1961.
