Mike Douglas rode a warm, sincere, non-hip persona to huge success on the first syndicated talk show to cop an Emmy. He drew a dizzying array of music talent, including Mick Jagger, Stevie Wonder and John Lennon, whose 1972 cohosting week with Douglas is one of the medium's all-time music-related events. The show, which aired live until Zsa Zsa Gabor used some off-color language, became 'The Mike Douglas Entertainment Hour' late in its run.
