JOAN & ANTHONY AT THE LONDON PREMIERE
"The Joey Bishop Show", ran from 1967 to 1969, this 90 minute show ran for five nights a week on ABC.. The show featured Regis Philbin as a regular, until he sensationally walked off the show. This show was scheduled against Johnny Carson's" Tonight Show" and "The Merv Griffin Show" and found it hard to get good ratings..
I don't have a shot from this premiere, however shown are photo's from the New York and London premiere's.
