QPQ:
Overall: the hooks are heading in the right direction but could be catchier. can you reformualte, perhaps adding in that he recanted Grand Jury testimony because that's intriguing. right now ALT1 has repetition of "quiz show" as well. when you offer a new ALT please put the citation(s) backing it on that particular sentence in the article.

Hi @Mujinga: I like ATL0 for the hook - I also received some positive feedback on that one from another editor. If you have a good idea for a better hook please submit it here and the promoter can pick on. I also received a suggestion for an alternative hook that reads:

ATL2... that after Albert Freedman was blacklisted from show business in the wake of the game show scandals of the 1950s, he went on to found a publishing company? Source Bruxton (talk) 15:32, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Cool let's strike ALT1 and move forward with ALT0 then, which is good to go. If you want to include ALT2 as well can you supply the citation(s)?Mujinga (talk) 15:53, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

@Mujinga: Thanks - added the source - please give it a green tick when ready. Bruxton (talk) 17:46, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

ALT0 is good to go, but ALT2 is not, you now need to put the information in the hook (which I've verified is in the source) also into the article. Mujinga (talk) 21:30, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

@Mujinga: Thank you, I moved the citation to support the hook in the body. Bruxton (talk) 02:22, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

@Bruxton: what i meant was there's information in the hook which isn't in the article, specifically blacklisting (article says "never worked in television again") and founding (article says "worked for") Mujinga (talk) 11:04, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

@Mujinga: I struck the hook in question. Bruxton (talk) 14:57, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

that also works, now good to go on ALT0 Mujinga (talk) 15:03, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
