From its start in the early 1950s, the talk show has been one of television’s most versatile and durable formats. Pioneering programs established the basic features that have guided the format ever since, particularly the importance of the host as the chief focus of the proceedings. The talk show has continued to provide viewers with a lively mix of entertainment, information and compelling conversation. This presentation will look at the fascinating history of the television talk show and examine its changing appeal from decade to decade. This program was made possible by funds from the Union County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
