Had some millenial go off on me about a bad impersination of Dick Cavett, on an HBO show.
Get mad at me for enjoying the Dick Cavett show.
Mike Douglas was on the living room TV at least 5 days a week in my home during childhood. Later on, we had to chose between this show and Dark Shadows.
My dad used to watch the Mike Douglas show. I appreciate that you linked to the whole show, opening with Mike doing a lounge singer version of “With a Little Help from my Friends”. I’ll take that over a Yoko Ono interview any day.
I always wondered what the deal was with those over sized asterisks he had everywhere. The Dating Game had similar, but I think those were supposed to be flowers.
Must be hard up for entertainment
For a week in 1972, John and Yoko actually hosted the Mike Douglas show for an entire week. That must have been fun.
I actually like Yoko Ono. She's a very attractive woman, quite smart, and while her style of singing is a bit of an acquired taste, she definitely can sing!
Yoko seems very nice overall.
Never noticed this before, but Mike Douglas bears a slight resemblance to Tucker Carlson.
Mike Douglas always struck me as a pretty nice guy. Now Merv Griffin, on the other hand, was a leering creep, made my skin crawl. It was revealed years later that he was a homosexual.
Mike was okay. Merv too.
Only much later did I find out I was supposed to be doing sports and other activities after school.
Yoko was a clever conceptual artist, but a lot depends on whether you think conceptual art is worth anything.
Mike Douglas leaving the airwaves may have been the last time anybody noticed Philadelphia was there.
