October 23 - National TV Talk Show Host Day

 

Happy National TV Talk Show Host Day! On October 23, get ready to go live before a studio audience! 
 

Created to pay tribute to television talk show hosts and appreciate their unique form of humor, entertaining stories, spontaneous wit, and timely political jokes.   


Talk shows come in a variety of platforms. Daytime talk shows provide a combination of current events, health updates, technology news, and entertainment. The later the hour, the more comedy the television talk show host dishes out.  


From practical jokes, impersonations, and sketches to games, sidekicks and audience participation. Guests usually star in an upcoming film or made headlines for a stunt, good deed or unusual invention. 


Each day we watch our favorite talk shows, and we laugh, cry, listen and learn. It is these great hosts that make the shows ones that we want to watch.  


While they’ve expanded their formats, not much has changed. They still fill the night with humor and popular guests. The band plays along and the audience joins in the pranks as well. 


HOW TO OBSERVE 


Learn about National TV Talk Show history. Practice your talk show voice. Tell a few one-liners for your family. Discovery some of the history behind the comedy associated with late-night talk shows.  


Do you have a favorite sketch or game played on a particular show? Do you have a favorite moment from a television talk show host during some point in time in television history? 


Invite the family to watch your favorite television talk show host and use #TVTalkShowHostDay to post on social media. 


HISTORY 


National TV Talk Show Host Day was chosen to be celebrated on The King of Late-Night Television’s birthday. John William “Johnny” Carson was born today on October 23, 1925.  


Years later, Carson would host NBC's American late-night talk show The Tonight Show for three decades (October 1, 1962 – May 22,1992).
