After That Was The Week That Was ended its run, David Frost was looking for a new challenge.
Westinghouse's Group W gave him that challenge, which lasted for 3 seasons (1969-72), with a self-titled talk show that aired in some of the same markets as another Group W staple, Mike Douglas. For example, in the 518, Frost came on around 1 pm, with Douglas following at 4:30 pm before being trimmed to an hour near the end of his run.
Jazzman Billy Taylor conducted the orchestra, giving Frost's show some extra zing
From October of '69, Frost's lone guest is comedy legend Jack Benny.
I do remember seeing some episodes as a youth, either during holiday breaks or during the summer.
Ratiug: B.
