"Bill Daily Show'
tapes variety series
o
N
By Ron Wylie
KOLN-TV has taped four in-studio
comedy-variety programs which station
executives hope to use as pilots for a syndicated
series.
The Bill Daily Show, starring Daily, a regular
on CBS's Bob Newhart Show, finished its original
four-part schedule Sunday at Lincoln's KOLN
studio.
Daily said he would like to have a regular
syndicated variety series originating from Lincoln
and taped at times when he is free from his
Newhart show schedule.
A comedy-variety format on a latenight show
could pull big audiences, Daily said, but stressed,
"I'm not talking about a talk show."
The basic formula would be music, sketches,
and Second City-type improvisations, he said.
Producer, director
Early in his career, Daily was an actor with
Chicago's Second City troupe. He also served as a
TV producer and director in Chicago, Cleveland,
and Philadelphia, for such shows as Romper
Room and the Mike Douglas Show.
Daily said he was in Lincoln on a promotional
tour in February when he first mentioned the
syndicated show idea to KOLN-TV managers. He
said he was impressed with Channel 10's
live-programming coverage, adding that many
bigger cities did not have much live coverage
beyond the regular news-weather-and-sports
routines.
Two considerations will dictate planning for a
regular weekly latenight series, Daily said. "We'll
have to see if the format is workable for me and
for the station; and we'll have to determine if
there's any audience interest in a regular series
like this."
Production costs for the pilots has been
assumed by KOLN, while Daily and some of his
entertainer friends have provided the planning
and talent, according to Paul Jensen, station
program director.
Good experience
Jensen said the four trial runs of the show
were good experience for KOLN-TV's staff, and
that the project was of good promotional value
to the station.
"Now we'll look at the four pilots and
determine if the show can be sold in
syndication," he said.
Production on a regular basis will depend on
the syndication market, Daily's ability to handle
the show, both physically and from a scheduling
standpoint, and KOLN-TVs ability to produce a
weekly variety series, Jensen said.
"About the first of June we'll know if this
works," he said.
A limited selection of air times led to the
decision to program the Daily show for Saturday
night, Jensen said, adding that prime
consideration was given to keeping the program
from competing with NBC's Johnny Carson
Show.
"There is no way a once-a-week show will
beat a five-times-a-week show, especially not
Carson," he said.
The first Bill Daily Show will run on Channel
10 Saturday night at 10:30 p.m. Program dates
for the next two shows are May 10 and May 31.
The fourth program will be scheduled for some
time in early June, Jensen said.

Review by Steve Logley
If Capricorn Records had it to do over again, they might rename
Elvin Bishop's new album Juke Joint Junk.
Elvin bats only 50-50 on Juke Joint Jump, which is subpar for
him. Elvin, you might remember, is the exguitarist from the
Butterfield Blues Band. Now he's on his own and doing quite well.
His problem on Juke Joint Jump is misdirection.
The title cut is a fine example of R and B music. Then there's a
two-song void until "Wide River," a nice, soft and slow tune.
On side two, three songs come and go until "Crawling King
Snake" revives the listener. This old John Lee Hooker song also
was done by The Doors a few years back. Bishop's rendition is a
good one and the band continues on with "Do Nobody Wrong,"
which finishes up the album nicely.
The misdirection comes in some songs that can't seen to decide
between country, R and B or blues (and those three don't combine
too well).
Bishop and Johnny "V" Vernazza do some nice things on guitar
and Michael Brooks plays excellent bass throughout. Also making
cameo appearances are Stephen Stills and June Pointer.
Actually the biggest problem may be. that Bishop is just too
docile in the) studio. Elvin is a good of country boy who's better
live than on recordings. Judge for yourself.
thanks you!
Dick and Sam at the Brass Rail really appreciate
all the business you've given them the past year.
So, they're having an end-of-year special to 'tank you .
