Steve Allen

When did the first talk show appear?:

Television talk shows have been around since the dawn of the medium, crossing over like so many shows from its origins on radio. Thus, the start of talk shows鈥?golden age can be considered in 1948, even though the television wasn鈥檛 common in American homes until the 1950s. From 1949 to 1973, nearly half of all daytime programming on the three networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) was talk.

In terms of talk show hosts, video didn鈥檛 kill the radio star 鈥?it made him an even bigger star. Hosts during the golden age included Arthur Godfrey (Arthur Godfrey and his Friends), Dave Garroway The Today Show), and Jack Paar (The Tonight Show). All were integral in the formation of the talk show formats we know and love today.

Steve Allen had the 1st nitetime show, and Shelia Graham had the 1st daytime talk show.

Merv Griffin

Steven Allen in1954 The Tonight Show but I thought Merv Griffin had a show too.

Many have forgotten this lady:
How did I come about with this info, because she is the wife of a great man who past away. The Young and the Restless creator. William J. Bell and his wife Lee Phillip Bell she had her own show back in the 50's. Her show ran from 1952 to 1986 and she received 16 Emmy Awards. Also this is a quick fact: first to show an on air self breast examination.

Hope this inspires more women showing they can have a long career.
