From its start in the early 1950's, 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 features that have guided the format ever since, particularly the importance of the host as the chief focus of the proceedings.
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 program will look at the fascinating history of the television talk show, and examine its changing appeal from decade to decade.
