Talk show script

"The Joe Franklin Show" was filmed in a dingy New York City basement where the "no smoking" sign aimed to ensure no wayward spark would cause a conflagration.

The series, which remained on the air until 1993, is among the first (and longest-running) talk shows in the U.S. While it never achieved national syndication, it is a cultural institution.

The talk show floodgates opened since Franklin's program first hit the air.

List of talk shows

From long-standing broadcast institutions like "The View" to streaming releases like John Mulaney's new weekly live series, set to premiere on Netflix in early 2025, viewers can watch hosts discuss any topic they desire on any platform they can reach.

The variety of styles and formatting is endless, including late-night celebrity talk shows, dramatic daytime series, political satire, and sports news programs, each filled with banter and debates. There are even talk shows that parody the traditional talk show format.
