Keith Olbermann retweeted a link from @NYTArchives today. http://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1959/09/14/issue.html?smid=tw-nytarchives&smtyp=cur@NYTArchives posted the TV page from September 14, 1959, with their focus being on the paper's review of the première (the Grey Lady spelled "premiere" with l'accent grave back then) of Bonanza. Keith's retweet noted that Betty White was a guest on that night's Tonight (Jack Paar) Show.Even excluding the raft of game shows in the listings, a fair number of other former / current / future GS personalities have their names on this page:It was debut night for International Detective starring "Arthur" FlemingMike Wallace all over the Channel 13 schedule. (Apparently, this was before 13 became the public broadcasting outlet for NYC.)Also on 13, Barry Gray from Winner Take All and Henry MorganDr. Joyce Brothers, shunted to 1:00 am, even later than HenryBill Cullen Himself, dominating the morning radio listings (which also feature Robert Q. Lewis, Bob and Ray, and Barry Gray again).Any more? (Just found Fred Robbins, host of The Girl in My Life, but that doesn't really count, does it?)
