Hollywood on Television (1949)

A television talk show, hosted by the actress Betty White from 1949 to 1953. Radio disc jockey Al Jarvis served as her co-host from 1949 to 1951, and was then replaced for a few months by the actor Eddie Albert. Following Albert's departure, White hosted the show alone. Besides interactions with guests, the show included comic sketches. The show was eventually replaced by the sitcom "Life with Elizabeth" (1953-1955), which was based on one of White's recurring sketches.
