The Mike Douglas Show, back in the 70s, occasionally had some impressive musical guests, though I have to admit I didn't always give them as much attention as I should have. He had Frank Zappa on at least once, and Steeleye Span too.

There were 2 popular mid afternoon talk shows at the time, Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin.  I remember Mike Douglas used to begin his shows with a song (I think he sang to a taped backing as I don't remember him having a live in-studio band).  He also had a special John & Yoko thing where they were his guests/co-hosts for a whole week in 1972. 

If you're going to talk about crazy talk-show-unexpected-musical-guest things, my favourite was Jimi Hendrix on The Dick Cavett Show in 1969.

Cavett:  So, are you a disciplined guy?  Do you get up every day and practice?
Jimi:  Ya, I try to get up every day.

I recall seeing PRIMUS perform 'Wynona's Big Brown Beaver' on the 'Late Night With David Letterman' show.  The look on D.L.'s face when they finished was priceless LOL  - Oh yeah, and Les, Ler & Herb were dressed like penguins..........

The first Marillion's appearance on an Italian TV was in a transmission for children at 3PM.They played (or better playbacked) Kayleigh.

And staying somewhat on topic, I remember seeing Manfred Mann's Earth Band performing "Blinded by the Light" on the Carol Burnett Show.

Confused The original topic where we discussed this appearance is neither that old nor was it difficult to find.
 
 
I'm pretty sure we've posted all the older TV appearances of Prog musicians over the years, such as Gilmour on Pop Quiz and Wakey on everything from Regional TV news programmes to Grumpy Old Men.
What?
