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.

Merv Griffin's guests are entertainer Orson Bean and Ted Sorensen former Presidential advisor of the late John F. Kennedy and a current major campaign adviser of Senator Robert F. Kennedy currently running for office of President of The United States.
Sorensen touches on many topics, including,
- Robert Kennedy's strength running for the Presidency is with the people. However, unfortunately, it's the politicians who dominate a convention.
- Comparisons of the 1960 Presidential campaign and the present 1968 campaign.
- Religious issues still a factor?
- RFK college campus campaigning to get large crowds and insure the importance of young people to join the party to work on the campaign as volunteers.
- The competition between Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Senator Eugene Mccarthy.
- Senator Kennedy's ruthless reputation as a politician.
- Myths about the Kennedy family.
- Reasons why RFK did not run in the New Hampshire primary.
Orson Beans joins in the conversation by stating that the country has changed, and that dangerous anarchy has been recently demonstrated by riots at Columbia University which if continues unchecked can lead to a Fascist America. Bean objects to Senator Kennedy's stand on his permissiveness views allowing such protests to continue.
There is a question and answer period where questions by audience members are asked of Ted Sorensen who replies to the following issues, which include,
The current stand by Senator Kennedy on the USS Pueblo...Viet Nam de-escalation (15,000 American troops in Vietnam when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and now there are 550,000 troops there)...Sorensin's opinion on how the Vietnam war has changed...would President Lyndon B. Johnson endorse Kennedy if he were the candidate running for President?...the advantages of the Kennedy name, and its mystique...why RFK is running in 1968 when originally he had indicated that he would run for the president in 1972...would Senator Kennedy accept a role as Vice President...

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.
Joey is the recipient of this award.

Photoplay ceased publication in 1980, and it’s staff started a new magazine called “Us Magazine” which is still published today. Previous TV exposure for the Photoplay Award was broadcast on The Steve Allen Show in 1959, and The Merv Griffin Show in 1966 and 1967.
NOTE: There a slight hum is heard occasionally as originally broadcast.

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?"

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.
