dbpprop:abstract
  • The Joey Bishop Show is an American talk show which debuted on ABC on April 17, 1967 hosted by Joey Bishop and featuring Regis Philbin, in his first concentrated national television exposure, as his sidekick/announcer. The show was created to challenge The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Unable to garner high ratings, the show was cancelled after two seasons. The program ran five nights a week, Monday through Friday, with Carson as competition on NBC and Merv Griffin also hosting a talk show on CBS, all in the same time slot, from 11:30PM to 1:00AM. Jack Paar appeared on the first broadcast as a kind of co-host as a favor to Bishop. Joey Bishop was part of the legendary 1960s entertainment phenomenon "the Rat Pack," and other members Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. , and Peter Lawford occasionally appeared on his show, sometimes as unbilled surprises, but Frank Sinatra never did. Famously, sidekick/announcer Regis Philbin walked off the program as a result of the continuous drubbing he'd been getting from critics, stating that the network never wanted him and he feared that he was injuring the series, but soon returned at Bishop's behest. This proved to be one of the few installments of the series to top The Tonight Show in the ratings. The program was eventually replaced by a similar but more sophisticated talk show hosted by Dick Cavett.
