Americana was a short-lived history quiz show.
Gameplay
The quiz, whose slogan was "Your program about your country", involved five contestants answering viewer-submitted questions about American history. A panel of three actors would perform short skits (with either one actor or more in each), after which the contestants would try to answer the questions.
By March 1949, the show was altered to only have high school students as contestants.
Studio
NBC Studio 8G, New York City, NY
