- Here's the final seven and a half minutes of a Donahue interview with legendary comedian Bob Hope as aired over WGN Channel 9, followed by a commercial break and small "bozonus."
Includes:
Recording coming in midway as audience members pepper Bob with such questions as whether he or any of his staff were denied entrance to any country, and about what famous world figures impressed him and had an influence on his own life (for whatever reason he seems to have considerable difficulty either hearing or understanding the quite reasonable and clear questions and he comes off looking like a bit of a jerk)
Commercials for:
Johnson's Disposable Diapers (with Juliet Mills)
Promo for "A Chorus Line" at Blackstone Theatre (filmed at and outside New York's Shubert Theatre) (main voiceover by Norman Rose) (ending voiceover by ??)
Nelson Brothers Warehouse & Showrooms (voiceover by Al Parker)
Eagle Discount Supermarkets - "Shopping Report" (with Mrs. Kenneth Pogwizd of Willowbrook) (who's the interviewer? It sounds like either Joe Slattery or Lloyd Hanson)
Phil brings out WGN Radio 720's Wally Phillips to meet and greet Bob, and hands him a copy of his book "Wally Phillips People Book"; Wally brings up the "mystery of the little black box" about a living famous American both Bob and Phil know (see the solution to the mystery here: • WBBM Channel 2 - The 1... ); they all speak of the book before Phil closes the program and the ending credits come up:
Phil Donahue's Wardrobe by Botany '500'
Promo plug for Ford Mustang and True Value Hardware Stores (voiceover by ??)
Hotel Accommodations Furnished by Hyatt Regency O'Hare
Executive Producer - Richard Mincer

This reminds me how much more localized television stations used to be. Commercials are advertising nearby places and the talk show was taking place right here in Chicago. Bob Hope just being a natural comedian and improvising his brand of humor like they used to do in a bygone era. Very civilized audience. Everything just feels more intimate and the people seem friendlier, even in commercials. TV was warmer and more real in those days.
Even on a nationally syndicated show such as "Donahue." Notice a local radio personality - Wally Phillips - popping up at the end.
2:20 Juliet Mills for Johnson's disposable Diapers.
Says so in the description . . .
Next time I'll read the description first 😜😝😳
The "Nanny" herself. Still associated with that role, so a perfect spokesperson for that product.
@@StudioZ7 - If they made this ad 20 years later, would they have signed up Fran Drescher . . . ?
@@wmbrown6 Perhaps, but she wasn't as sappy-sweet. Might have been kind of cool.
Wally Phillips secret person was revealed as Jean Rogers of the Flash Gordon movie serial fame in 1982 .
Bob Hope at a young 76 . Chicago radio legend Wally Phillips . The great Chicago TV/radio personality Merri Dee . Carl Greyson years before had been the announcer / commercial spokesman for The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet TV sitcom during the Kodak camera years in the late 1950s .
Being a New Yorker, I remember the "A Chorus Line" ad very well . . .
Oh, and R.I.P. Pamela Blair (the original Val, that was an excerpt from "Dance: Ten, Looks: Three").
I also have a question for you "A Chorus Line" aficionadi. We know of the excerpt of "Gimme the Ball" from Richie (the late Ronald Dennis) and "Dance: Ten; Looks: Three" from Val (the late Pamela Blair), but what was the number to which Donna McKechnie as Cassie kicked up her heels, and what was the excerpt of Mike's (Wayne Cilento) scat? ("One," of course, goes without saying.)
