Always prepared, knowledgeable, curious and inquisitive was Joe Franklin. Unlike talk show hosts of today, he wasted no time on sarcasm or mockery, and invariably treated his guests with kindness and respect.
A real New Yorker. I remember my brother and I watching it. Living in Bergen County, NJ, before cable. We had plenty of great NYC stations, via antenna.
Even though I was not born IN NYC I,grew up there. When a star whom I admired, I stayed late night to watch it. In 2021 I do not live in the area, I do not know if any TV interview show is like that anymore in the city or America.
Loved! Loved! Loved Joe Franklin. Watching his show made me feel like I was a friend who dropped by his house and he had all this wonderful company. I miss that show.
RIP Joe Franklin. You were timeless! I just lost my dear dad suddenly at 84 this month too. A midtown Manhattan retired doctor who practiced over 50 years. A 'double whammy' for me.
Joe Franklin and Johnny Carson are probably the two best talk show hosts we have ever had. I miss them both like members of the family.
WWOR... Sigh I miss this. Never thought of Joe's show as a "talk show"
It was far more than that.

You're not a real New Yorker unless you've bumped into Joe on eighth avenue at least once.
The great Joe Franklin, don't think anyone will beat his record!
Best from Late Night with Johnny P Show
Joe was a great man!
Great knowing you Joe, till we meet again!
Best Always Johnny P & The Late Night Show.
RIP Joe.
@tomthefunky yes, my friends...
One of the most idiosyncratic talk show host one of a kind
Looking for a Joe Franklin Memory Lane with guest Ben Bagley. Does anyone have this or even know who I could contact..?
Poor man's Johnny Carson? :P
or a regular guy's.
Cognoscenti's Carson is probably more like it.
