I'll be Right Back

Memories of TV's Greatest Talk Show

By: Mike Douglas,Thomas Kelly,Michael Heaton

For two decades, Mike Douglas's name was synonymous with television entertainment in America. His show, which aired each weekday, became the prototype for all future talk shows that sought to combine spontaneous conversation with the best in entertainment. In those twenty years virtually all the great performers and many outstanding sports figures and prominent statesmen, presidents included, appeared with Mike. Now, looking back, Mike Douglas delivers a memoir that is filled with terrific stories, each one told with wit, nostalgia, and more than a touch of class.
