Henry Morgan's Great Talent Hunt is a TV series on NBC Television hosted by Henry Morgan. The show aired from January 26 to June 1, 1951, originally from 9 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. ET and then to 9:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET.[1]
Henry Morgan's Great Talent Hunt began January 26, 1951, replacing Versatile Varieties. The first format for the Morgan show was a take-off on The Original Amateur Hour with Morgan as host, and featuring Kaye Ballard (in her TV debut), Art Carney, Pert Kelton, and Arnold Stang.[2] The program "featured people who had unusual abilities",[3] such as a man who picked a violin's strings with his teeth and a girl who played an instrument while tap dancing.
In April, NBC changed the title and format to The Henry Morgan Show, a music-variety show[4] featuring singers Dorothy Claire and Dorothy Jarnac in musical segments between Morgan's comedy skits. This latter format lasted until June 1.
