What's on TV? Monday, September 8, 1969



I mentioned Jack Paar in Saturday's piece; he actually appears twice on TV today, promoting tonight's lion special on this morning's Today Show. Also on Today, Leslie Nielsen and Hari Rhodes are on to promote The Protectors, one of the original elements of The Bold Ones. And how about Mary Gallagher? She was Jacqueline Kennedy's social secretary while JFK was president, and she's on to promote her new book, My Life with Jacqueline Kennedy. I'm sure there'll be some news thrown in there between the promotions. It call comes to you courtesy of the Northern California edition.

  1. RE: "Merv Griffin" lineup--Were Tom Patchett and and Jay Tarses a stand-up duo before they became a writing/producing team? I can't find any credits for them before 1971.
