The Talk

Stephen Colbert hosts a late-night talk show.

The British actor and comedian steps into late night, taking the reins from previous host Craig Ferguson.

Classic country music and hayseed humor from some of the biggest stars in music and comedy. The variety show aired for more than two decades.

Judy Garland's show, like the star herself, had a troubled history, and it suffered format changes and backstage turmoil, none of which kept it from copping several Emmy nominations. Notable changes involved a switch in executive producers from George Schlatter to Norman Jewison. Garland, though, was in great voice, and there were wonderful guest shots by her daughter Liza Minnelli, Mickey Rooney, Barbra Streisand, Ethel Merman, Danny Kaye and Ray Bolger (the scarecrow from 'The Wizard of Oz').

They had us, babe, this endearingly mismatched power couple who dished out a mix of music and jokes, frequently the shimmering Cher's at the expense of spouse Sonny, whose somewhat goofy persona was a charming foil for her flash. With guests like Jerry Lee Lewis and the Supremes, they soared until their 1974 divorce ended the show. Sonny then hosted 'The Sonny Comedy Revue' and she starred in 'Cher,' and they reunited professionally in '77 for 'The Sonny and Cher Show.'

Popular Muppet Rowlf the dog from 'The Jimmy Dean Show' hosted this summer variety program, which featured the comedy of Burns and Schreiber.
