(ABC Primetime, 1950 - 1951) [This was an early attempt to bring the genial radio host to television (after all, it had worked for Arthur Godfrey); but despite a number of regular performers including Fran Allison (of Kukla, Fran and Ollie) this effort, which aired during Primetime, lasted only one season... Three years later, ABC made another attempt, simulcasting McNeill's "Breakfast Club" daytime radio show...which had been a fixture on radio since 1933. But again the TV show only lasted a year...apparently the low-key Godfrey approach wasn't McNeill's style]
