What would have happened if NBC had not hired Ronald Reagan to host "Tonight". Would the show have been as successful? Is there any truth to the story that Reagan was considering entering politics?
Yeah, that's true. Many people forget this, but he stumped for Goldwater in 1964, and some politicos had approached him with running for Governor of California as a Republican. Because of his work with the Tonight Show, he turned it down. And he also hosted several political talk shows on CNN after leaving in 1982.What would have happened if NBC had not hired Ronald Reagan to host "Tonight". Would the show have been as successful?
