MIKE DOUGLAS SHOW, THE
| Air Date/Released | Friday, June 8, 1973 |
|---|---|
| Station/Studio | Syndicated / Group W Prods. |
| Host/Star | Mike Douglas |
| Featuring | Moe Howard (Solo) |
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 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.
Mike Douglas and co-host Ted Knight discuss the pitfalls of auditioning, and present audio bloopers of Ted narrating THE SUPER-FRIENDS cartoon series. Guests include author & nutritionist Gary Null, singer Arlene Fontana who performs "I Am Woman," Washington insider and The Kidner Report author John Kidner, and The Three Stooges' Moe Howard. Moe recounts a brief history of Ted Healy and The Three Stooges, detailing the story of how he, Shemp and Larry originally joined Healy. The cream puff fight from SLIPPERY SILKS (1936) is screened, and then Moe instructs Mike and Ted on the art of pie throwing, resulting in a pie fight melee.
This show was taped on April 27, 1973.
In Mike Douglas' 1999 autobiography I'll Be Right Back, he writes that arriving at the studio at 8AM, waiting alone in the lobby was Moe Howard, ready with a list of comic bits for consideration in that day's show, and ready to rehearse. Mr. Douglas has said that Moe Howard may have been the most conscientious performer he ever worked with.
Cast: Mike Douglas (Host), Ted Knight (Co-host), Moe Howard, Gary Null, John Kidner, Arlene Fontana, Joe Harnell & The Band
Crew: Mike Douglas (Executive Producer), Barry Sand (Producer), Frank Ryan Jr. (Director)
