Twenty Questions was broadcast on Wednesday evenings, 19:30 in Toronto, beginning 4 October 1961.[2] The program lasted only a single season on CTV. MacPherson, who had previously hosted a radio version of the show in Britain, subsequently went on to host a British adaptation of Twenty Questions for Associated-Rediffusion.
Les Wedman, television columnist for The Vancouver Sun, deemed the production to be a "dull, witless presentation of a parlor [sic] game".[1]
