Life Begins at Eighty

Life Begins at Eighty

"Life Begins at Eighty" is a panel discussion series which aired from 1950 to 1956, first on NBC, then on DuMont, and finally on ABC. The show debuted on 13 January 1950, and the last show was aired on ABC on 25 February 1956.

The show was hosted by Jack Barry, and consisted of viewers at home writing questions for the octogenarian panel to answer. There were usually four panelists; the two permanent spots on the panel were given to Broadway actress Georgiana Carhart, and Fred Stein, cousin of writer and poet Gertrude Stein.

"Life Begins at Eighty" was a spin-off of the popular panel discussion series "Juvenile Jury", in which young children answered questions from the viewers at home. From time to time the panel would be combined, in "Wisdom of the Ages" television specials.
