#14012: BARRY GRAY INTERVIEWS, THE
Order1963-03-27, WMCA, 32 min.
Barry Gray was an American radio personality, often referred to as "the father of talk radio." His late-night New York City radio talk show was carried by WOR radio and then later by WMCA. Barry Gray returned to WMCA in 1950, and stayed there for 39 years, refining the talk show format still utilized today. During the 1960s, he was in the odd position of having an 11 p.m.-1 a.m. late-night talk show on a station otherwise dominated by Top 40 music and the youth-targeted "Good Guys" disc jockey campaign. But for teenagers who kept their radios on into the night, Gray's show was a window into the high-brow New York culture of the 1940s and 1950s. Topic: Barry Gray discusses the virtue of the Academy Awards with guests David Susskind, Celeste Holme, Abby Mann and others.

Jack Paar elected to pursue a three year NBC series in prime time soon after stepping down as host of THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JACK PAAR (1957-1962). These broadcasts took on the form of a variety / talk show format. Each telecast opened with a Paar monologue. Also shown from time to time were personal home movies shot by Jack on various trips by the Paar family to Africa, Russia, and Europe.Jack's daughter, Randy Paar would often assist her dad narrating these films. Appearing with Jack were many of his old regulars from the TONIGHT SHOW including Alexander King, Oscar Levant and Jonathan Winters. This 10pm Friday prime time slot attracted many notable guests, including Richard Nixon, Barry Goldwater and Ted Kennedy. Also, given exposure were many young and veteran entertainers, Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland, Ethel Merman, Peggy Lee, and stand-up comedians, among them, Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, Godfrey Cambridge, Jackie Vernon, Mike Nichols & Elaine May, Burns & Schreiber, and Dick Gregory. Impact appearances occurred introducing footage of The Beatles, prior to the group appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, and a young Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali), singing and spewing poetry with Jack and Liberace. After three years (one and a half years less than his tenure on THE TONIGHT SHOW), Jack Paar called it quits and would prematurely retire from the business with the exception of producing and starring in a handful of Specials for NBC and accepting one brief return to regular television, for nine months, hosting an ABC late night talk show, JACK PAAR TONITE in 1973).

The Chesterfield Supper Club, which also featured The Mitchell Ayres Orchestra and the Fontane Sisters, was originally seen on Friday nights but soon shifted to a half-hour slot on Sundays, opposite Ed Sullivan's "Toast Of The Town." In the fall of 1950, Como shifted to CBS where he hosted his own show for the next five seasons; the fifteen-minute program was seen Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, following the network news.

The weather report with Carol Reed, the local weather girl on WCBS-TV Channel 2 in New York City. She would always end her weather reports by saying "Have a Happy," most appropriately signing off on each December 31st. Archival Television Audio, Inc. has only one brief archived example of Carol Reed wheatear forecasting on WCBS television. This rare 35 second opening is all that exists in any known archive in the country. The broadcast opens with the announcer introducing the program: " Greyhound presents Carol Reed with the Late Weather." After Carol Reed says "good evening to her television viewers, she states that currently there is a rapid decline in temperature in the New York area. Carol Reed had a long run on WCBS TV News as the "weather girl" form 1952 to her final regularly scheduled early evening report (7:10-7:15 PM, and briefly 7:25-7:30 PM) and late evening report (11:15 - 11:20 PM) September 20, 1963. NOTE: Carol Reed (1925 or 1926 – June 4, 1970), always introduced as "Carol Reed, the weather girl", presented the weather portion of the evening newscasts on WCBS-TV in New York City from 1952 to 1963/1964. Not trained in meteorology, she nevertheless proved popular with viewers because of her cheerful demeanor and her characteristic signoff, "Good night and have a happy!" In 1958, she gained national recognition, as the commercial spokesperson for Nabisco. After her run on channel 2 ended, she hosted a radio show on WCBS (AM) prior to its changeover to a current all-news format. She died of cancer on June 4, 1970, in Mamaroneck, New York at age 44. For decades WCBS‐TV News was aired as a 15 minute broadcast. The first 10 minutes dealt with the local news and the final 5 minutes focused strictly on the weather, as a weather program. It was the end of a television era soon to be realized by all local NYC channels, in 1963 & 1964, when a specific five minute weather broadcast entity of its own would be telecast. News would take priority, and the weather would be incorporated within the news, it getting as little or as much time as it merited. 12 years of Carol Reed broadcasting the weather is almost not extant in any form, kinescope or videotape.
