Everything about The Hollywood Palace totally explained
The Hollywood Palace was an hour-long
television variety show produced by
Nick Vanoff. It was broadcast weekly (generally on Saturday night) on
ABC from
January 4,
1964 to
February 7,
1970. It began as a mid-season replacement for the short-lived
Jerry Lewis Show, another variety show which had lasted only three months. It was staged in
Hollywood at the former Hollywood Playhouse on Vine Street, which was renamed The Hollywood Palace during the show's duration and is today known as
Avalon Hollywood.
Unlike similar programs such as
The Ed Sullivan Show, guest hosts were used instead of a permanent one. Among the performers and hosts on the show were
Bing Crosby,
Bette Davis,
Frank Sinatra,
Milton Berle,
Sammy Davis Jr.,
Sid Caesar,
The Rolling Stones,
Groucho Marx,
Tony Bennett,
Judy Garland,
Jimmy Durante,
The Supremes,
Ginger Rogers,
The Temptations,
Phyllis Diller, and many other famous faces. The off-screen announcer for each program was
Dick Tufeld.
A number of popular music performers got their start on the show. For example,
The Rolling Stones made their first US television appearance June 3 1964, and
The Jackson 5 made their first national television appearance on the
October 14 1969 episode of the show. The folk-rock group
We Five performed their hit
You Were on My Mind within a few weeks of its being released in 1965.
In a famous June 1964 telecast, The Rolling Stones were repeatedly ridiculed by host Dean Martin when they did two songs "I Just Want To Make Love To You" and "Not Fade Away". Later, when the Stones proved popular, reruns of their performance were shown with the current host and the original Dean Martin comments edited out.
New version
In
2004,
Hollywood Palace returned to television, produced by
Margate Entertainment Company, the trademark owner of Hollywood Palace. The first episode starred TV icon
Peter Marshall and featured guests
Marty Allen, a regular on the earlier version, and legendary 1950's singer
Don Cherry.
