1965-1967 (Syndicated)

A two-hour talk show hosted by controversial American radio and television talk show host Joe Pyne (December 22nd, 1924-March 23, 1970. Much like the Alan Burke Show, Pyne's show was dominated by eccentrics, crackpots, and controversial guests, whom Pyne delighted in insulting. Pyne pioneered the confrontational style of hosting in which he advocates a viewpoint and argues with guests and audience members. His style was a major influence on other controversial talk show hosts such as Wally George and Morton Downey, Jr.  

In the 1950s, television was replacing radio as America's primary medium. In 1954, Pyne moved to television with The Joe Pyne Show broadcast by WDEL-TV in Wilmington, Delaware. In mid-1957, he moved to Los Angeles but his initial efforts to gain fame were unsuccessful and he returned to the Wilmington area. There he began doing a TV talk show on WVUE-Channel 12, which was also seen in Philadelphia, and got some positive reviews from critics.(Interestingly, while he would later be regarded as a bigot), in the late 1950's,the local black press generally praised him for inviting black news makers on his show to discuss various issues.

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.

Joey Bishop hosts the 46th Annual photoplay magazine Gold Medal Awards.

On the day of the death of assassinated  New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Governor Ronald Raegan is interviewed by Joey Bishop via  phone  related to the assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.

First question from Bishop to Raegan is how do we abolish guns from indiscriminate use by those who can purchase guns so easily in our country?

Ronald Raegan, governor of California, describes his feelings related to the assassination of Kennedy and why it occurred. He states that there should be no collective guilt by Americans. Moral standards seem to be changing in our country. America must return to principles where individuals are responsible for their actions and not society. Raegan describes his conservative approach to government. He feels that all candidates today running for president are targets for assassination. 

Reagan states that he not in favor of restricting gun control but addressing the law to be less lenient with criminals who use guns and break the law. There should be swift and certain justice for such individuals. We should review the USA permissive attitudes in the courts. 

Raegan also addresses Joey's  question: "How does the rest of the world look at this tragedy?"

Commercials include:
Kennel Ration Dog Burgers, Gold Bond Stamps, Lee's Hair Pieces for Men, and an ABC TV plug for viewers  to watch "Divorce Court," "General Hospital,"  and "Dark Shadows."

Joey Bishop is the host of this week-night-talk show originating live from Hollywood. The announcer and sidekick is Regis Philbin. Johnny Mann conducts the orchestra. 

The ABC Late Night chair had previously been occupied by Les Crane when the show was called THE LES CRANE SHOW, and later by a succession of guest hosts (when it was called NIGHTLIFE).

Bishop gave it a two & half year run but he was never able to beat Johnny Carson in the ratings, and in late November 1969 Joey was fired by ABC. Bishop had one more month to fulfill with the show but decided to walk out, a similar deja vu moment on TV when Jack Paar walked off his TONIGHT SHOW 13 years before.  

Dick Cavett then took over the ABC late-night seat after the final JOEY BISHOP SHOW which aired December 26, 1969, closing out the decade of the '60s.

In the fall of 1962 Gleason was back to a Saturday slot, which he occupied for another eight seasons. From 1962 to 1966 it was called "Jackie Gleason and His American Scene Magazine," and featured topical comedy sketches as well as musical numbers. One of Gleason's characters, Joe the Bartender, appeared regularly. Addressing the camera as his patron, Joe told a few jokes before calling out the tipsy Crazy Guggenheim from the back room. Guggenheim, played by Frank Fontaine, traded quips with Joe and then sang a song. Sue Ann Langdon was also featured regularly. In 1966 Gleason moved the operation to Miami Beach. The show was retitled "The Jackie Gleason Show." For the first time in almost a decade, production of "The Honeymooners" was resumed. Gleason was reunited with Art Carney; Sheila MacRae and Jane Kean were added to play Alice and Trixie. Initially, short Honeymooner skits were performed (approximately 15 minutes).  Later, "Honeymooners" sketches ran a full hour, and the accent was now on music.
