- The show originated as a local New York City late night program in June 1953 and went onto the network in September 1954. Throughout the summer of 1956, Steve Allen was the only host. When Allen's prime-time series debuted in the summer of 1956, he limited his appearances on this show to Wednesday through Friday and a series of guest hosts filled in until 1 October 1956 when Ernie Kovacs took over as permanent host for the Monday and Tuesday broadcast. Kovacs had his own set of entertainers, i.e., Wendell, Hanley, Arthur and Loden. The last show was broadcast on 25 January 1957."Tonight's" first monologue was given with Steve Allen seated at the piano: "In case you're just joining us...this is Tonight...and I can't think of too much to tell you about it, except I want to give you the bad news first: this program is going to go on forever. I wouldn't call it a Spectacular....you might say it's more a Monotonious ."
- After the end of her longtime association with Johnny Carson and the failure of her own late night talk show, Joan Rivers attempted to try her hand, this time, on her morning talk show, in comparison to her fellow talk show hosts Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford, as far as bringing celebrities to the show, but opposed to them, her talk show focused on finding the more, universal humor in the gossip, pop culture, and fads of the Nineties that still resonate today. For doing this, she also paved the way for later talk show hosts, with invitation from celebrities like Rosie O'Donnell, Donny and Marie Osmond and Ellen DeGeneres.
