Herb Stempel
Herbert Milton "Herb" Stempel (born December 19, 1926) is of Jewish origin, a television game show contestant and subsequent whistle blower on the fraudulent nature of the industry, in what became known as the quiz show scandals. His rigged six-week appearance as a winning contestant on the 1950s show Twenty One ended in an equally rigged defeat by Columbia University teacher and literary scion Charles Van Doren.

Famous quotes containing the word herb:
“Find out the peaceful hermitage,
The hairy gown and mossy cell,
Where I may sit and rightly spell
Of every star that heaven doth show,
And every herb that sips the dew;
Till old experience do attain
To something like prophetic strain.
These pleasures Melancholy give,
And I with thee will choose to live.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
