The Television Talk Show: The Chuck Woolery Show (w/guest Marilyn McCoo)

During the incredible talk show era of the early 1990s, there were a vast amount and array of talk shows on television, and one of them was The Chuck Woolery Show. It ran in 1991, and was one of many endeavors of Mr. Woolery at that time.
Chuck Woolery had (and still has) a great warmth, charm and easy conversational style, and it worked very well for his talk show, albeit for a single season.
In this interview segment, Woolery interviews on of our all-time favorites here at Television Vanguard - singer, sometime actress and television host/presenter Marilyn McCoo of The 5th Dimension fame.
This episode was broadcast on January 20, 1992.
This video clip is presented here on KZbin for the entertainment and informational value of the viewer, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Enjoy!
Editor's note: As we near the close of the unofficial end of summer and the Labor Day holiday weekend, we'll be bringing to a close our summer-long tribute to the television talk show. We've enjoying bringing to our viewers this long look back at the origins and highlights of the history of the television talk show from the 1950s to this past decade.
We have one final (and very special) talk show tribute tomorrow/Friday to wrap up summer, and a special birthday tribute to a lovely lady and multi-talented actress, singer, dancer and nightclub entertainer on Sunday.
Then, beginning Monday evening, we'll begin our look back at the 1966-1967 television season, which will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this fall.

Marilyn McCoo - a class act, great talent - a far cry from most performers today

[@jamesfeuilherade3664]

Yeah Marilyn Is a class act, with the voice of an angel! My favourite song is Wedding Bell Blues.

[@jessica4885]

[@sharonboyce527]

Mrs Maccoo your so incredibly beautiful and you sang the best song in the world (( One Less Bell )) It touched the core of my being.

[@monaonassis6346]

She is such a pretty woman and such a warm smile. Even today, just beautiful.

[@harley5571]

If this was 1991..then Marilyn was 48 or so..Wow what a spectacular looking lady..

[@craigmc3614]

Check her out in the 5th Dimension 'Sweet Blindness' clip standing on the old vintage car. Like WOWow man!

[@archangelvvv]

@@craigmc3614 Right! That's an iconic video of them riding down the street standing in that open car performing Sweet Blindness! Marilyn is absolutely stunning in that video. A world class natural beauty with a great personality. I just luv that video and watch it often!

[@Joseph03743]

She's gorgeous. I thought so from day one. She reminds me of my sister, who passed 5/12/17.

She is so great, and still can sing better than anyone. When she does "I Dreamed A Dream" is my favorite.

Not just sad but depression.

[@darryldurrets5242]

I want a Marilyn for myself

[@johnday1172]

This woman is so beautiful & classy. Love her.

[@jbdivautube]

OMG... I remember seeing this episode when it originally aired on tv. Great Clip!!! I only wish is that you could have uploaded the song she sang on the show. I loved that song and would love to see that segment of the show again.

Hi there - thank you for the nice feedback and request. We will look through our VHS tape library to see if we have the full Chuck Woolery episode with Marilyn McCoo... we may. If so, we'll try to get the clip posted in September to mark her birthday. We've got our summer schedule pretty much locked in now, but fall schedule is still on the drawing board... we'll try to get our next Marilyn McCoo clip from the Woolery Show scheduled for that time. Thanks again for watching. - Television Vanguard Staff

[@TelevisionVanguard]

Hello there - we wanted to circle back to update the reply we gave you earlier this year. Today (as I'm sure you know) is Marilyn McCoo's birthday, and we are in the process of uploading a couple of tribute clips, including more of her on the Chuck Woolery episode, but we just ran the original VHS tape, and somehow back in 1992, the ending of that Woolery episode was taped over by another show. Disappointing. We will be showing a quick Ed Sullivan clip that includes the 5th Dimension. We have more of the 5th Dimension planned for early next September to mark the 50th anniversary of the incredible 'Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In' hit song, and will (licensing permitting) show the group singing that song on their own TV special, a quick Ed Sullivan show clip of them performing the song from '69, and a group interview on Entertainment Tonight of their 1991 reunion. Keeping fingers crossed we can pull this all together (plans only on the drawing board at this point) to help kick-off the 1969-70 television season 50th anniversary. Thank you for watching. Best regards, Television Vanguard Staff

Chuck said Marilyn was a friend of his but didn’t mention what the context was. Anyone know?
