Stump the Stars was a revival of Mike Stokey's Pantomime Quiz that had the same celebrity action as before. Each home viewer who sent in an answer would receive gifts if their answer was used on the show plus a bonus prize for stumping the stars.

Premise[]

Two teams competed in a game of charades. One member of a team was given a charade and tried to get his/her teammate to say it in a two-minute time limit, then the other team played a charade and the team using the least time overall was the winner.

Merchandise[]

A board game based on this version was manufactured by Ideal in 1962.
