The Dick Cavett Show with guest Tex Ritter (1970)

Tex Ritter, of course father of John Ritter, talks about running for Senator of Tennessee against Albert Gore, of course father of today's Al Gore.

What's My Line with mystery guest Danny Kaye (1957)

To keep this site from being overwhelmed by the sudden glut of What's My Line mystery guest spots flooding YouTube, I will only be embedding those featuring famous comedians or full episodes when they appear.

Wheel of Fortune (1976)

The sound ain't great but it's interesting to see an episode of Wheel of Fortune from 1976 hosted by a young Chuck Woolery (who looks like a Jack Burns character). I don't blame you if can't sit through the whole thing. I didn't.

What's My Line with panelist Groucho Marx (1959)

Groucho spars a bit with Bennett Cerf's failed attempts at humor and laborious rambling (as did Henry Morgan every now and then). By the way this is the 1000th post on Classic Television Showbiz and probably the 500th with questionable grammar.

The Doris Day Show featuring Rose Marie and McLean Stevenson (1968)
