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.
