Battle of the Ages was an American television program originally broadcast on the DuMont Television Network and later CBS.

DuMont version

It was a prime time game show/talent contest which pitted children against adult celebrities. Whichever team won would have their winnings donated to either the Professional Children's School (the kids) or the Actors' Fund of America (the adults). The DuMont version ran from January 1 to July 17, 1952, and was hosted by John Reed King.[1]

Competitors included The Charioteers[2] and Henny Youngman.[3]

CBS version

The series was then aired by CBS on Saturdays at 10:30pm ET beginning on September 6, 1952. The age division for team members was 35, and it was hosted by Morey Amsterdam. Members of the two teams participated in "song, dance, comedy and instrumental competition", with the winning team determined by applause of the audience.[4] It ended on November 29, 1952.[5]

This version originated live at WCBS-TV with Serutan as the sponsor. Norman S. Livingston was the producer, Andrew McCullough was the director, and Milton DeLugg directed the music.[4]

Competitors included Maxine Sullivan[6] and W. C. Handy.[7]
