President Harry S. Truman comments on the 1952 Presidential election in which General Dwight D. Eisenhower will run against Democrat Adlai Stevenson.                 

President Harry S. Truman gives a Labor Day speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He speaks of the progressive measures that the State has taken, it's liberal traditions, and honors the working men and women of America. He praises Adlai Stevenson and his running mate John Sparkman as the right Presidential and Vice-  Presidential candidates respectively to run for office in 1952.             

President Harry S. Truman gives a political talk in support of the Democratic candidate for President, Adlai Stevenson.      

The second Rocky Marciano vs. Jersey Joe Walcott heavyweight  championship fight in Chicago. Marciano, who knocked out then heavyweight champion Walcott in their first 1952 bout in the 13th round, knocked down Walcott in the first round of their second fight and the bout was declared a knockout. The result was disputed by Walcott's corner, arguing a fast count by referee Frank Sikora. But it appeared that Walcott rose a split-second too late, to end the uneventful bout. This proved to be the 39-year old Walcott's final bout and was Marciano's first defense of the heavyweight title he won from Walcott a year earlier.

Hy Gardner was a well-known New York Herald-Tribune columnist.  He  appeared regularly on Tonight! and America After Dark, a short-term substitute for Tonight! after Steve Allen abandoned it early in 1957. Gardner specialized in profiling show business celebrities and other news makers, and he hosted a nightly ten-minute TV interview program in New York called Face to Face. His weekly Sunday-night show, Hy Gardner Calling!, also aired only in the New York area and consisted of interviews conducted by telephone, with the subject seemingly at home, but actually seated in one studio, while Gardner sat at his desk in another. The telephone hook-up was real, and there was no physical proximity between host and guest. The show premiered in 1954 ? on New York City’s NBC affiliate station WRCA-TV, Channel 4, and ran until 1965. 

Hy Gardner interviews Elvis Presley, hours after he appeared on The Sunday Night STEVE ALLEN SHOW, singing "HOUND DOG."

Hy Gardner interviews Hollywood gossip columnist Hedda Hopper who comments on such topics as unfavorable cleavage, her hats, increasing lengths of Hollywood movies, and Mike Todd's "Around The World in Eighty Days."                                                                           

Presented on "SATURDAY COLOR CARNIVAL" Nanette Fabray recreates her starring role in the 1947 musical about a charming con-man and his attempt to convince a young couple that they will profit from the sale of their family property. 

This television Special opens with announcer, Don Pardo, exclaiming:

"Ladies and gentlemen. The following program is being brought to you live, from New York, in COMPATIBLE COLOR, pioneered and developed by RCA."   

Two songs, "I Still Get Jealous" and "Papa, Won't You Dance with Me?" have served to keep in mind "High Button Shoes," the 1947 Broadway show they come from. The style of shoe suggests the period - 1913. the place is New Brunswick, New Jersey, home of Rutgers University. And the central figure of the plot is one Harrison Floy, a charming con man who has returned to New Brunswick, his home town, where live some of the few people left who don't know him for what he is.

As Sara, Nanette Fabray re-creates her 1947 role; Joey Faye is also back as Pondue, Floy's partner in crime.

NOTE: This "Saturday Spectacular" presentation was broadcast only six days prior to the usage/ application, for the FIRST time, of 2" QUAD video tape which would be used to reproduce a Live quality replay time delayed television program ("Douglas Edwards with the CBS Evening News" - November 30, 1956). 

Such reproduction usage would soon change the way television would be broadcast in the future. By 1960 such usage of Video Tape greatly relegated most of television' prime time broadcasting from LIVE to VIDEO TAPE.

Sharp tongued Henry Morgan, who never was able to keep a television series on the air for more that a brief period of time, lasted only nine months with three different time slot entries for this early late night talk/variety show. 

Syndicated and broadcast in New York on WNTA Channel 13 this series had a 90 minute format (10pm-Midnight), and two additional time change formats all in 1959. 

Morgan's show was revised from a 90 minute format to a one hour broadcast time slot and continued for another three months and then again revised to a half hour for another two months before being cancelled altogether.

 Ferdinand Waldo Demara, more popularly known as Fred W. Demara appears on this broadcast along with auto biographer, Robert Creighton who discusses his book about Demara entitled "THE GREAT IMPOSTER,"  a descriptive accounting of the colorful and very intelligent person who assumed the identities of others in order to shortcut through life and place himself in various positions or careers. Amongst others, over time, he was a Canadian Navy Surgeon, civil engineer designing a bridge, a sheriff's deputy, an assistant prison warden, a doctor of applied psychology, a hospital orderly, a lawyer, a child-care expert, a Benedictine monk, a Trappist monk, an editor, a cancer researcher, and a teacher - and at the end of his life a hospital chaplain in his own name.

Henry Morgan chats with Fred Demara asking many questions and at the same time adding humor to the conversation, as he does at the  top of the broadcast taking to his audience about a myriad of topics including Holy Bread, Hulu Hoops, Books alright to purchase but banned from mailing, Charlie Knickerbocker, columnist Sidney Skulski, recognizing celebrities in public, and the firing of Tony Marvin by Arthur Godfrey after being his announcer for twelve years.   

Orchestra leader, Norman Paris leads the band in "Hooray For Love."

Hy Gardner was a well-known New York Herald-Tribune columnist.  He  appeared regularly on Tonight! and America After Dark, a short-term substitute for Tonight! after Steve Allen abandoned it early in 1957. Gardner specialized in profiling show business celebrities and other news makers, and he hosted a nightly ten-minute TV interview program in New York called Face to Face. His weekly Sunday-night show, Hy Gardner Calling!, also aired only in the New York area and consisted of interviews conducted by telephone, with the subject seemingly at home, but actually seated in one studio, while Gardner sat at his desk in another. The telephone hook-up was real, and there was no physical proximity between host and guest. The show premiered in 1954 ? on New York City’s NBC affiliate station WRCA-TV, Channel 4, and ran until 1965. 

Hy Gardner interviews Groucho Marx. In this excerpt Groucho tells Hy a very funny anecdote related to an incident all three Marx Brothers pranked on MGM's wonder boy, Irving Thalberg.                                                                                                                                           

September 26, 1960 - December 28, 1962 

Dean Miller interviews veteran actor Charlie Ruggles. The only television interview Ruggles ever did aside from appearing on a This Is Your Life episode. 
Excerpt.

Here's Hollywood (568 broadcasts) aired as a half-hour interview program, weekday afternoons on NBC at 4:30pm. On October 2, 1961 the show was reduced five minutes giving way to a live news broadcast with Sander Vanocur which aired at 4:55pm. 

Here's Hollywood  was the leading daytime show for two years. It was the first TV broadcast of its kind, using two mobile vans equipped with 2" video tape equipment which traveled to the homes of celebrities...two locations each day, one star in the morning and one in the afternoon. Most of the interviews aired were ten minutes in length. Two different interviews comprised the full length of the half hour program. Occasionally, one subject would be interviewed for the complete program. Occasionally programs were produced outside of the United States...Hawaii, Germany, France. Five color broadcasts were attempted and then the concept abandoned, due to the complexity of 2" quadruplex video tape at the time.

Dean Miller conducted interviews from September 26, 1960 to September 29, 1961. He was replaced by Jack Linkletter who conducted interviews from October 2, 1961 to December 28, 1962. Joanne Jordan conducted interviews from September 26, 1960 to June 9, 1961. She was replaced by Helen O'Oconnell who conducted interviews from June 13, 1961 to December 28, 1962.

Note: Only a handful of the 1,100 different interviews survive. Most were erased, discarded, misplaced. NBC Archives have only two surviving kinescopes, one with Joe E. Brown (12-2-61), and one with Linda Darnell (12-4-61). UCLA Film & TV Archive has 46 different subject interview kinescopes on separate negative film and separate optical film. 

Archival Television Audio has 82 broadcasts on audio tape, originally recorded by Phil Gries at the time the broadcasts first aired. Most of them are complete interviews. These television Audio Air Checks represent the greatest number of known surviving HERE'S HOLLYWOOD broadcast episodes. 
UCLA FILM & Television Archives retains, in their vaults, the greatest number of individual original HERE'S HOLLYWOOD separate 16mm Kinescopes and coinciding separate optical and magnetic sound tracks, representing approximately four dozen shows. Almost ALL of these broadcasts remain in analog form, and not view-able as composite video and audio.  
                                                                                                                   

The US tries to find out why it lags behind Russia in the space race, Russia venerates Yuri Gagarin, plans for future space flights, Russians refuse to yield on nuclear test ban talk.                   

Highlights: Yuri Gagarin receives a hero's welcome in Moscow, he's greeted by Nikita Khrushchev, more anti-Castro sabotage in Cuba, Castro accuses President Kennedy of being an arsonist, a rebel uprising in Angola, UN sends Indian troops to Congo, planes airlift 2100 troops, Senators Alexander Wiley and Estes Kefauver Hassel over electrical price fixing,
