THE PHRASE THAT PAYS
Dummy mike, of course — Ted "eats, sleeps and lives" radio, but doesn't bathe in it!
By FRANCES KISH
Ted Brown, emcee of NBC's The Phrase That Pays, occasionally asks one of his telephone contestants: "What do you think I look like?" A pause. Then: "What's that?" He repeats the answer for the benefit of the studio audience and the radio listeners. "You say, you think I'm tall, dark and handsome? And good-natured? Madam, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're wrong." And he stops to grin impishly at the audience. "You say that's the way I always sound to you? Oh, thank you, kind lady." Then he grins again, and the studio audience smiles right back at him, knowing that — no matter what he says — the lady has guessed just about right.
For this quick-tongued quizmaster is a slender, tall young fellow (five feet, ten and a half inches) and darkly good-looking (black hair, hazel eyes behind tortoise-rimmed glasses). And wonderfully easygoing and relaxed. Except that, when you watch him carefully, you see — under the easy manner and the general spirit of tomfoolery pervading his broadcasts — that he's a rather serious young man. (Until that grin of his takes over.)
Ted is serious about some things. Things like his home, his pretty brown-eyed, red-haired wife Rhoda. His two boys, teen-age Tony and three-year-old Rickey. His ambition to accomplish a lot of things before time catches up with him. (Time hasn't even begun to, so he needn't worry for a long stretch to come.)
