Page "The $64,000 Question" Paragraph 48

* Dr. Joyce Brothers – Only the second contestant to win the show's big prize ( after expertly thwarting numerous attempts to bump her from the show because Martin Revson was said to have disliked her and doubted her credibility as a boxing expert ), Brothers has enjoyed the most enduring fame and media success among anyone who rose to prominence by way of Question.

Her championship as a boxing expert led to an invitation to become a commentator for CBS ' telecast of a championship boxing match between Sugar Ray Robinson and Carmen Basilio.

By August 1958, Brothers was given her own television program, first locally in New York and then in national syndication.

Making numerous television and radio appearances as a psychologist, not to mention numerous television comedy roles, Brothers has also written a long-running syndicated advice column in newspapers and magazines.

She is still considered, arguably, the first media psychologist and has been licensed by New York as a psychologist since 1958.
