Broadway to Hollywood is an American television program broadcast on the now-defunct DuMont Television Network. While the daytime version was mainly a talk show with news, celebrity gossip, and home-viewer quizzes, the quiz portion became a full-fledged nighttime version within two weeks of the program's debut.




Broadcast history


The daytime show began on July 4, 1949, and was hosted by Don Russell. Two weeks later on July 20, a nighttime version hosted by George Putnam debuted. Both versions were originally called Headline Clues.
Putnam left in February 1951 and was replaced by Bill Slater until 1953, after which Conrad Nagel took the reins until the show's end on July 15, 1954.
Actors who appeared on Broadway to Hollywood: Headline Clues included Conrad Nagel. Edgar Higgins was a writer for the program.
Tidewater Associated Oil Company sponsored the program, promoting its Tydol and Veedol products.
