Program Description

Description

From its start in the early 1950s, the talk show has been one of television’s most versatile and durable formats. Pioneering programs like Today, Person-to-Person, and Tonight established the basic format ever since, particularly the importance of the host in guiding the shows. Whether it was the sophisticated wit of Dick Cavett, the magnetic empathy of Oprah Winfrey, the innovative comedy of David Letterman, or the sharp political satire of Jon Stewart, the talk show has continued to provide viewers with a lively mix of entertainment, information and compelling conversation. This presentation will look at its fascinating history and examine its changing appeal from decade to decade.

Please be aware that there is no need to register more than once.
