Synopsis by Mark Deming

In the 1960s and '70s, Mike Douglas was the host of one of America's most popular TV talk shows. In his 22 years on the air, Douglas was famous for presenting a dizzying variety of entertainers and newsmakers, and this video features 75 minutes of great moments from the show's heyday. Guests featured in this collection include boxing legend Muhammad Ali, actor Theodore Bikel, groundbreaking R&B group Sly and the Family Stone, and congressman Wayne L. Hays, then the focus of a political scandal when it was discovered he had been having an affair with a poorly qualified woman hired to head one of his committees.
