April 17, 1967 - December 26, 1969. THE JOEY BISHOP SHOW was one of several attempts by ABC (previously Les Crane tried and failed to attain ratings) to establish a strong late-night talk show. Bishop held the record (177) substitute hosting appearances for Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show, and had been quite successful. It was hoped Joey could lure away some of Carson's audience. Similar to Jack Paar, in 1960, Bishop surprised his audience on the night of November 26, 1969, and walked off the show while taping his opening monologue. The Joey Bishop late-night program lasted for one more month using guest hosts before it left the air. During three phone conversations I had with Bishop, in the early 2000s, he confirmed to me that almost ALL of his late-night shows had been erased by ABC.
On this program,Joey Bishop walks off the show. Co-host Regis Philbin takes over.

Betty Hutton sings on stage "I Got the Sun In The Morning".
Ann Miller, Jane Russell, Betty Hutton each discuss their careers and philosophy of life.
At conclusion all three sing "I Got the Sun in the Morning."
NOTE: This was to be one of Betty Hutton's last TV appearances (she did make an appearance on The Merv Griffin Show February 13, 1970) prior to her 1970 mental breakdown and subsequent loss of her singing voice. And, interestingly, Hutton guested with Virginia Graham on January 27, 1972 which would be her last TV appearance until "telling all" five years later on the Mike Douglas Show.
Betty reminisces about how she began in show business, her mother 's saloon and how she would play guitar and sing there, her four marriages, the last to husband Pete Candoli whom she divorced in 1967, however, now living happily together, but not in the same home. Betty Hutton states to David Frost what the most important principle there is ruling her life.
