TeleTales #18…CBS Studio 59, Gary Moore’s Second Home
256 W 47th Street is the location of what was The Mansfield Theater and later, CBS Studio 59. Now, this is the Brooks Atkinson Theater.
CBS used the theater from 1950 till 1960 and this was the home of both “I’ve Got A Secret” and “The Garry Moore Show”, daytime edition.
When Steve Allen came to television in New York, he was first on CBS and was one of the first shows done here after the conversion. Allen was here from 1950 – 52. Other shows that came from Studio 59 were “The Sam Levinson Show”, “The Robert Q. Lewis Show” and Jimmy Dean’s daytime show. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee
