MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW, THE
Air Date/Released | Thursday, September 3, 1964 |
---|---|
Station/Studio | Syndicated |
Host/Star | Mike Douglas |
Featuring | Moe, Larry and Curly Joe |
Long-running (1961 - 1981), syndicated, 90-minute afternoon talk show. Mike Douglas' easy going, homey personality, genuine interest in his guests' careers and lives, and an equal focus on performance as much as talk... combined to make DOUGLAS a hit with television audiences. Produced in Philadelphia for most of the run, away from the entertainment centers of NY and L.A., its popularity still ensured a steady stream of eager guests from film, television, music, radio, publishing and government. A hallmark of the show's legacy was the co-host, a celebrity who joined Mike for a week's worth of shows, sometime with a theme, who frequently participated in the selection of guests.
Moe, Larry & Curly Joe guested on one episode, in September 1964. The 3rd is the earliest known airdate, per Pittsburgh listings; DOUGLAS was syndicated, so dates can vary from market to market. Additional information on the boys' participation is pending.
