The jury on the program consisted of six usually young lesser-known film stars or minor recording artists who judged the latest releases from the record companies. Among the "jurors" were Barry Sullivan (1912-1994), Maureen O'Sullivan (1911-1998), and Jane Powell (born 1929).  Mike Connors (1925-2017) appeared on an early KNXT episode under the name "Touch" Connors.<ref name=tvparty/>
