Joan Rivers’ That Show Available for the First Time Since Its Original NBC Broadcast
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Fans new and old can now enjoy Joan Rivers’ That Show – available to the public for the first time since its original network broadcast more than four decades ago – being released by Film Chest on its American Pop Classics label.On Aug. 22, the first 65 episodes (of 250) of That Show will be available on free, ad-supported Hulu and the Hulu Plus subscription service. The episodes are remastered from the original broadcast tapes for the highest audio/visual quality. More episodes will follow on Hulu and Hulu Plus.
Long before The Joan Rivers Show in the early ’90s – when her daughter (and future co-star), Melissa, was barely a year old – Rivers hosted her first talk show, That Show, airing weekdays in syndication 1968-69 on NBC.
Taped in New York City and produced by the young working mother and her husband, Edgar, each show hosted a top celebrity, as well as an “expert” tackling the day’s featured subject. In Joan’s now-beloved brash, staccato style, the guests and the subject were frequently at odds: An etiquette writer vs. boxer Rocky Graziano; a psychotherapist who had written a book on martial arts vs. James Earl Jones, star of The Great White Hope.
The hit show – which boosted the NBC time slot to its highest rating in years – is a virtual time capsule of the day, featuring such high-profile celebrity guests as Johnny Carson (her first guest), Soupy Sales, Ed Sullivan, Florence Henderson, David Susskind, James Earl Jones and many more!
At “300 words a minute,” the Emmy-winning Rivers – with her high energy and irreverent wit – hilariously tears into a multitude of subjects from her own life: from nudism to buying a new car … Only Joan can host a show about podiatry and leave the audience in tears.
That Show episodes are presented in full screen with an aspect ratio of 4 x 3 and original sound.
