JOEY BISHOP SHOW, THE (talk show)
| Air Date/Released | Monday, April 17, 1967 |
|---|---|
| Station/Studio | ABC |
| Host/Star | Joey Bishop |
| Featuring | Moe, Larry and Curly Joe |
ABC attempted to create its own late-night talk show, to compete against THE TONIGHT SHOW. Joey Bishop was a popular substitute host for Johnny Carson, and so on April 17, 1967 ABC premiered THE JOEY BISHOP SHOW with co-host Regis Philbin. The show never really caught on with audiences, but did endure for a 2½ year run.
The Three Stooges Scrapbook reports that The Three Stooges made several appearances on Bishop's talk show. Exact air dates for four are known (see below, 11/17/67, 4/23/68, 6/6/68 and 5/9/69). At least one more (with guest Jane Kean) is unspecified as to date. This filmography will add individual, date-specific entries as information becomes available.
This is a placeholder entry for any episodes the Stooges appeared in, for which we do not have airdates.
Although an air date is not available, Scrapbook does describe one appearance where the Stooges performed the "Operation" sketch. They later demonstrated the art of pie throwing, which escalated into a wild melee that filled the stage. Jane Kean (THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW's 'Trixie Norton') was one of the other guests, and recalls this episode as sometime in 1968. Ms. Kean purchased an expensive gown for that night's appearance, and although she remained seated in her guest chair on the opposite side of the stage, her dress was ruined when the Stooges accidentally splattered her with meringue.
There is an unconfirmed report that Moe Howard made a surprise, solo appearance on the BISHOP SHOW, to promote a Stooges appearance for the following evening. When/if this is confirmed, a filmography entry will be added for Moe's solo credits.
Cast: Joey Bishop (Host), Regis Philbin (Co-Host), Johnny Mann (Musical Director), Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Joe DeRita, Jane Kean
