August 12, 1968…The Last TV Performance Of “Over The Rainbow”

46 years ago today, Judy Garland appeared on ‘The Mike Douglas Show’. At the start of this clip, you can see Mike and Judy reminiscing over some rare photos of her, but this is set to start where Douglas asks her to sing one of the greatest songs of all time.

Although she would perform “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” at a few more live concerts, this was the last time she sang it on television. Enjoy and share!

    This was shot with the TK-43’s.

    When I toured the WCAU studios in 1974, the person who took me on the tour showed me the “Mike Douglas Studio”–the one with the seats and camera ramp. Was Westinghouse leasing that studio from WKYC?

    Happened right here in Philadelphia, at KYW-TV at 1619 Walnut street.
