Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is a documentary television series based on the newspaper feature that aired in three incarnations.
The first Believe It or Not TV series, a live show hosted by Robert L. Ripley, premiered on NBC television March 1, 1949. Shortly after the 13th episode, on May 27, 1949, Ripley died of a heart attack and several of his friends substituted as host, including future Ripley’s Believe It or Not! president Doug Storer. Robert St. John served as host from the second season until the series ended on October 5, 1950.
Ripley’s Believe It or Not! later returned to television in a second series from 1982 to 1986 on the American ABC network. Character actor Jack Palance hosted the popular series throughout its run. In the 2000s (decade), a new series was produced for TBS with actor Dean Cain and field correspondent Kelly Packard as hosts. (Wikipedia)
