April 17, 1967…”The Joey Bishop Show” Debuts On ABC


Above, we see the opening of the show with, a wide shot of the GE PE 250 cameras on the stage at 1313 Vine street. There is more on these great facilities in the photos, so click on them.

Joey’s announcer and sidekick was Regis Philbin, and this was the first time Regis had national exposure. Joey and Rege were up against Carson on NBC and Merv on CBS and only lasted 33 months.

The show ended on December 26, 1969 with Bishop leaving after his monologue, declaring that this was the last show. Philbin was left to finish the final episode. The time slot was filled by “The Dick Cavett Show” from New York. -Bobby Ellerbee

    Before this stint, Regis had a local afternoon show in San Diego.

    The Dick Cavett Show used these cameras as well. I always liked them too bad Norelco stole the sales from G.E.

    Never cared for Bishop as a late night host. He wasn’t very likeable.

    GET TV is showing some other show that featured him.

    Look at those GE cameras!
