Spin the Picture is an American game show that aired on the DuMont Television Network.
The hosts telephoned home viewers to see if they could identify a famous person within a spinning photograph [1] that was accompanied by a verbal clue. Successful identification brought a prize for the viewer. Unsuccessful identification resulted in a consolation prize for the viewer and an increase in the show's jackpot. [2]
The show was originally called Cut at the premiere on June 4, 1949, [3] and was renamed Spin the Picture on June 18. [3] The show was hosted by Eddie Dunn, [2] Kathi Norris, [1] and Carl Caruso. [4]
From June 1949 to January 1950 it was on Saturdays from 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern Time. In January 1959, it was cut to 30 minutes, running from 8 to 8:30 p.m. ET on Saturdays. The final show was broadcast February 4, 1950. [5]
