John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Talk Show Hosts? Yes, It Happened In 1972 In A Landmark ‘Daytime Revolution’


John Lennon and Yoko Ono become talk show hosts in 1972 in the documentary 'Daytime Revolution,' directed by Erik Nelson.

EXCLUSIVE: It may sound hard to believe, but John Lennon and Yoko Ono became daytime talk show hosts more than 50 years ago – the Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson or Drew Barrymore of their time. The new documentary Daytime Revolution, directed by Erik Nelson, chronicles that pop culture moment in February 1972 when John and Yoko took over The Mike Douglas Show, producing and co-hosting the afternoon talker. In addition, the shows featured blazing musical performances, including an epic duet with Chuck Berry, and a poignant rendition of the now classic ‘Imagine.’ Conceptual art events and even cooking segments were woven into the crazy fabric of the format.”
