Line 19: As late as 1956, Olson had a crack at another radio quiz, the short-lived ''Second Chance'', somewhat similar to the earlier hit ''[[Queen for a Day]]'' in that this show, too, focused on guest contestants' tribulations, in this case a chance at rectifying a mistake or a loss in life. ==Work for DuMont Television Network== From May 1947 to July 1949, Olson hosted ''[[Doorway to Fame]]'' an evening television talent show on the new [[DuMont Television Network]]. From January 1949 to July 1952, Olson hosted ''[[Johnny Olson's Rumpus Room]]'', a [[daytime television]] talk show which was the first daytime show broadcast from DuMont's flagship station [[WABD]] over DuMont's small East Coast network. ==Early announcing work==
