How did you get the Job as host? "Years ago, when I was in the service, I was a radio newscaster and disc jockey, but acting came along at the same time and paid a lot better.

Whether or not I'm going to do anything else during those weeks, I can't tell." "What we have is a show that deals with any contemporary issue, psychological, biological, ecological, economical.

Bennett's report. Station buyers saw it as the coming trend. The show is from Group which has given us "The John Davidson Show" and "PM Magazine." Collins used a break in taping "Hour Magazine" at Hollywood's Golden West Studios to talk about the series. How is this show different from John Davidson's or all the other talk shows? "Well, Allen Bennett, who's an executive of the Katz Agency, TV station representatives, did a report on the need for a third-generation talk show: a show that combines a genial host, a charming co-host, dealing with contemporary issues.
