When I first saw the name thought it might be for a scripted crime drama. ABC aired Mr. Arsenic Thursdays at 9:00 in May and June 1952, which was against Dragnet some weeks. It says talk on TV Tango and my primetime directory, but definitely not a typical talk show. Program of factual information hosted by Burton Turkus about 1952 political personalities and gangsters, not for the squeamish it says. Racy for 1952 TV standards! :eek:

Sounds to me like a variety show that Don Rickles coulda hosted!

Rickles was nicknamed “Mr. Warmth” out of irony.
