...Clark won $22,500, but the producers' admission that the show was crooked, said he, has damaged his reputation. Reason: his friends will not believe that he was not in on the fix. He filed a $500,000 suit against NBC, the show's producers (Barry & Enright Productions) and the sponsor (Procter & Gamble). What's more, argued Clark, his eye on an even bigger payoff, the fix cost him a possible $40,000 in winnings. He sued for that...

But the networks could not deny that they had been less than thorough in investigating the charges when they were first made; even as late as last October, when NBC took over Dan Enright's and M.C. Jack Barry...
...soon after Charlie Van Doren's fabled splurge, NBC had bought out their packaging firm, Barry and Enright Productions, Inc., for $2,200,000, also gave them long-term contracts as producers at $100,000 each per year. Fortnight ago, burned by the investigation, Barry and Enright closed out the contracts for a lump settlement...
