Queen for a Day

Queen for a Day is an American game show, produced by Edward Kranyak. It ran on NBC daytime from 1956 to 1960, then moved to ABC, where it continued until 1964.

At the start of each program, host Jack Bailey would ask the studio audience, "Would you like to be queen for a day?" During the show, female contestants told Bailey their sad stories, and the winner was determined by applause from the audience.
