Everybody's Talking

Everybody's Talking 1970

1

Everybody's Talking was an American game show which aired on ABC from February 6 to December 29, 1967. Former dance-party host Lloyd Thaxton was the host; Wink Martindale and Charlie O'Donnell were the announcers. Thaxton typically closed each episode by saying, "Keep watching, and keep listening, because everybody's talking!" Veteran producer Jack Barry created this show during a brief period working for Goodson-Todman. Due to lingering bad publicity concerning his possible involvement in the rigging of Twenty One and Tic-Tac-Dough in the late 1950s, he asked that his name be kept off the credits. Jerome Schnur Productions packaged the show instead. It was the last American daytime television program aired in Black and White despite the big 3 commercial networks converted to color by September 1967.

The show featured in-depth reports, analysis and comment based around news stories from around the world, and was presented by James Rubin. It consisted of the main presentation desk revolving to a presentation position of Rubin seated in front of a neon globe with studio guests then able to be seated either side of him. Note however that many of the show's guests appear via link-up from other countries. While the focus was firmly on events outside of the UK, the show usually incorporated brief domestic news updates.

Sky News' Foreign Affairs Editor Tim Marshall often contributed material to the programme, and on occasion hosted during Rubin's absence. American neo-conservative commentator William Kristol also frequently appeared from the US as a guest contributor. Rubin has also presented the show from some international locations including Jerusalem, and Aleppo. The show was cancelled on 10 July 2006, along with The Sky Report, as part of a minor re-shuffle of the Sky News schedules. Rubin can still be seen on Sky News as a World News Commentator.
