Both a radio and a television program, THE ORIGINAL AMATEUR HOUR was a variety show that offered amateur singers and performers their first big break in show business. Among the weird and wonderful acts that appeared some genuine talent emerged, and this program highlights both the hopeless novelty acts and the major stars who went on to find fame and fortune. Pat Boone--himself a product of the show--hosts this series of clips, which features nascent performances from future stars such as Gladys Knight, Frank Sinatra, and Raul Julia.
