Allen Ludden's Gallery

Allen Ludden's Gallery is an American television talk show hosted by Allen Ludden. Sixty episodes were taped and syndicated to 22 markets. His co-hosts were his wife, actress Betty White, and musical director H. B. Barnum, "a black man, but he's not on this show as a token Negro. He's here because we have the right chemistry and he's talented and a good friend," Ludden told The Boston Herald Traveler. Ludden also said he hoped the show would attract younger viewers, but it proved to be a failure.
