Mike. Dann, one of network television’s most colorful executives, in his vivid account of life at the heart of the broadcasting industry between 1948 and 1970. Through Dann’s eyes we follow the evolution of television, from the birth of the first full network schedule through the creation of shows such as Today and Tonight and the fall of prime-time giants such as The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Along the way, Dann reveals never-before-told stories: Dave Garroway’s anger at being forced to work with a chimpanzee; how a power-crazed CBS network president seduced Judy Garland in his office; and why a fellow CBS executive may have been fed marijuana-laced cookies by a rebellious star.Reveling in the drama and excitement of television’s golden years, Dann recounts the highs and lows of working with legends such as Mary Martin, Lucille Ball, Danny Kaye and Jackie Gleason, not to mention the pressure of working under broadcasting pioneers NBC chairman General David Sarnoff and CBS chairman William S. Paley.
