Mark Goodson (January 14, 1915 – December 18, 1992) was a successful American television producer who specialized in game shows.

Their first television show, Winner Take All, debuted on CBS television on July 1, 1948. The long list of Goodson-Todman productions includes Beat the Clock, Family Feud, Match Game, Password, The Price Is Right, To Tell the Truth, I’ve Got a Secret, What’s My Line?, and Card Sharks. The shows endured through the decades, many over multiple runs, because of Goodson’s sharp eye for production and presentation.
