"Think Fast" was a quiz show that ran from 1949-1950 on television in the United States. The show aired on the ABC network from March 26, 1949 through October 8, 1950. The program revolved around a group of five panelists (three regulars and two weekly guest panelists) who would compete to see who had the most to say about a particular subject. They sat at a large table, each getting a chance to sit at the "King's" throne by out talking the others on subjects decided by the host.

The regular panelists were Leon Janney, David Broekman who was also the show's musical director, and Eloise McElhone. The moderator was Mason Gross for the first episodes, then Gypsy Rose Lee after Gross left the show. The program aired on Saturdays until April, then on Fridays until September, then on Sundays for the rest of its run.
