Using roughly the same format as Tonight, Bishop provided little more than late-hour tedium for viewers. His guests included Buddy Greco and Sonny and Cher. Debbie Reynolds talked about Girl Scouts; Danny Thomas kidded around to little effect. Everybody plugged everybody's newest picture, recording or TV show.

HAMPTON HAWES, HERE AND NOW (Contemporary). In this record, Hawes adds new harmonic colorings to his bright percussive style, most notably in Fly Me to the Moon and Chim Chim Cher-ee. Helping him along on bass is Chuck Israels, whose gracefully looping rhythms give another dimension to The Girl from Ipanema and What Kind of Fool...
