Events
Date | Event | Ref. |
---|---|---|
January 6 | Elvis Presley makes his final appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. | [1] |
January 25 | Steve Allen makes his final appearance as host of NBC's The Tonight Show. He is replaced by Jack Lescoulie and the show is changed from a talk/variety show format to be more like the series Today, with the title Tonight! America After Dark. | [2][3] |
March 23 | The 1957 NCAA University Division Basketball Championship Game, in which the North Carolina Tar Heels defeated the Kansas Jayhawks 54-53, was telecast on five television stations in North Carolina from Kansas City, through the remote facilities of WUNC-TV. Castleman D. Chesley, a local television producer, produced the coverage of this game. This was the inspiration of the establishment of a syndicated package of live men's basketball games of the NCAA's Atlantic Coast Conference, which made its premiere in January 1958. | [4][5] |
March 31 | The first TV version of Cinderella, starring 21-year-old Julie Andrews, and with songs by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, is broadcast in color by CBS. | |
April 4 | "The Ricardos Dedicate a Statue", the 180th and final first run episode of I Love Lucy, is filmed at Desilu Studios. Its May 6 broadcast on CBS marks the end of an era in early television comedy. | |
June | On Tonight! America After Dark, Jack Lescoulie is unsuccessful, so NBC hires Al "Jazzbo" Collins as master of ceremonies. Collins doesn't last long; NBC is already planning to replace him and restore the original format as The Tonight Show, in which Jack Paar becomes the permanent host, starting with the program's July 29 episode. | |
September 7 | NBC introduces its first animated version of its "living color" peacock logo, starting with the day's episode of Your Hit Parade. | |
Unknown date | When Nat King Cole's television series is unable to get a sponsor, Frankie Laine is the first artist to cross TV's color line, foregoing his usual salary of $10,000.00 to become the first white artist to appear as a guest. Other major performers follow suit, including Mel Tormé and Tony Bennett, but, despite an increase in ratings, the show still fails to acquire a national sponsor. | |
Westinghouse introduces the first rectangular tube color television. Due to issues with convergence (aligning the guns to get a single image), the sets are withdrawn from the market. Rectangular color tubes wouldn't be successfully sold until some time in the mid-1960s. | ||
Hollywood takes over New York as the dominant city where prime time TV programs were filmed, upgrading most of the TV genre, changing from live broadcasts to filmed series. |
