The show had many hosts, with Comedian David Steinberg the most frequently-appearing one ( Lily Tomlin as well.) Many huge names of the era, including The Beatles , James Brown , Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young , Three Dog Night , Tom Jones on the initial program and Janis Joplin , Bobby Sherman , Sly & The Family Stone , Isaac Hayes , Stevie Wonder , and Mama Cass , among many others, appearing on subsequent shows. Surprisingly, despite the level of talent presented, this show did not fare well in Nielsen Ratings . Advertisers of the era were more interested in shows achieving a "mass audience" than they were one whose audience was primary younger people who were deemed as having less disposable income than the then-coveted middle aged, middle income viewers most network programming then targeted, and the program was cancelled mid-season. This program and the show that followed it, '' The New People '', are extremely rare examples of U.S. network television programming designed to run for 45 minutes. |
