September 20th, 1961-September 5th, 1964 (NBC)
September 27th, 1964-September 7th, 1965 (CBS)

A 30-minute sitcom not to be confused with Joey Bishop's later effort as an ABC late-night talk show host to compete with Johnny Carson.
In this show's first season, Bishop was seen as Joey Barnes, an unmarried publicist. For the second season, a new format for the show was developed and was retitled "The New Joey Bishop Show." Here, Bishop kept the name Joey Barnes but was a nightclub comedian and talk show host who was now married to Ellie, played by Abby Dalton. Also, starring was Guy Marks as his manager, Freddy, and Corbett Monica who replaced Marks. Joe Besser who was on season 1 of the Abbott and Costello television series and for a brief period one of the Three Stooges, played Bishop's landlord. On September 27th, 1964, the show moved to CBS where it finished its run on September 7th, 1965.                                     

     April 17, 1967 - December 26, 1969


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. 

Guests: Ronald Reagan, Debbie Reynolds, Joe Besser, Danny Thomas, Michael Landon in the audience. 
Co-Host: Regis Philbin
Music by Johnny Mann
