A sympathetic professor, understanding how he could not escape being a Quiz Kid in the United States, told him, “You need to get out of the country.”

They documented every broadcast schedule, photograph and celebrity encounter of Joel Kupperman’s life as a Quiz Kid.

In addition to his wife and son, survivors include another child, Charlie Kupperman of San Francisco; a sister, Harriet Moss, who was briefly a Quiz Kid in her youth, of Palo Alto, Calif.; and a grandson.

Joel’s older sister was also briefly a Quiz Kid.

Kupperman’s graphic memoir about his Quiz Kid father, “All the Answers,” is surprisingly moving.
