| The David Susskind Show
(1958 - 1986) was television's most ground-breaking talk/debate
show. Susskind was the first to bring on multiple guests, whether
they were political figures or call girls - together on a set to
have no-holds-barred debate of current issues. Susskind's show was
the first to offer wide-open, unrestrained conversation about issues
of the day. Celebrities, politicians or regular civilians let their
guard down and talked freely about themselves.
Guests included Phil Spector, Neil Simon, Neil Diamond,
Gore Vidal, Truman Capote, Nikita Krushev, Stanley Carmichael, Lillian
Hellman, Bill Cosby, Mel Brooks, Marlon Brando, Steve Roebel, Robert
Kennedy, Paul Newman and many more!
In retrospect, the Susskind interviews are among the most indepth
and intimate of their day. 1100 shows transferred from their original
2" video masters.
