Nostalgia! Full YouTube video of first televised talk show - 1948!

We were watching one of our favorite movies last night - Woody Allen's Radio Days. It is remarkable for those who enjoy looking back on what life must have been like growing up in the 1940s, when radio played such a huge role in people's lives.

After the movie I did some googling around for different radio shows - and came upon this great slice of early TV! Enjoy! (I've not watched it all yet...but as a genealogy, history and nostalgia buff, I love this type of thing).

I'll come back and watch some more tomorrow.

Wonder how many had ever heard of the DuMont network?
