JOEY BISHOP SHOW, THE - A Show of His Own

Air Date/Released Wednesday, May 2, 1962
Station/Studio NBC / Danny Thomas Enterprises
Featuring Joe Besser (Solo)

Joey Barnes is an L.A. Public Relations executive, working at a Hollywood advertising agency, whose clients frequently include celebrities. Single and still living at home, Joey's easygoing manner is often taken advantage of by his boss, and even his family who think his job makes him a player in the Hollywood community.

Aspiring comedian Joey finally gets his chance when NBC offers him the starring role in a new late night talk show. Pushy producers and writers attempt to take control of the show, and Joey fears his chance in the spotlight will be upstaged when the network announces Milton Berle as the first guest. Mother Barnes steps up to boost her son's confidence and morale. Besser appears as neighbor & mailman Mr. Jillson, joining Joey's family in congratulations on Joey's success.
