Earlier in his career, he appeared on such television shows as Burns and Allen and The Imogene Coca Show. However, he was most known for being the host of The 64,000 Dollar Question, which he helmed from 1955 to 1958. As a result of the quiz show scandals, the show was canceled and March was out of a job for nearly a decade.
