Information About

Hullabaloo (television)




''Hullabaloo'' was a musical variety series that ran on NBC from January 12 , 1965 through August 29 , 1966 .

Directed by Steve Binder , who went on to direct Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special , it was originally a one-hour broadcast, airing from 8:30 - 9:30pm on Tuesday nights. In June 1965, it shifted to the 10:00pm time slot, but three months later, the network cut the show to thirty minutes and moved it to 7:30pm on Monday nights, where it remained for the rest of its run.

''Hullabaloo'' served as a big-budget, quality showcase for the leading pop acts of the day, and was also competition for another like-minded television showcase, '' Shindig! ''. A different host presided each week—among these were Sammy Davis Jr. , Petula Clark , Paul Anka , Jack Jones , and Frankie Avalon —singing a couple of his or her own hits and introducing acts such as The Rolling Stones , Sonny And Cher , The Supremes , Herman's Hermits , and Marianne Faithfull .
