For those of you that remember the talk show host, he died on Friday, his 81st Birthday.
I loved that show.

Mike Douglas was a fine singer in the big band era. A lot of people don't know he was the singing voice of Prince Charming in Disney's "Cinderella."

I liked Mike's show. I remember vividly watching it during the 70's after getting home from school.
Yet another sign that we are ALL getting older as the entertainers of our youth are passing on..........

| Douglas started out in Cleveland on WKYC TV-3. He then moved to Philadelphia. Douglas took chances with his guests. He had Lennon/Yoko co-host for a full week in the early 1970's. What show do you know that has controversial guests for a full week today? Only Johnny Cash had the guts to invite people like that on a show in the early 1970's. Douglas had politically controversial people on his show, despite his years. I thought he was great. Agree with his views or not, he made you think. Today's so called "hosts" should take a page from his book. |
