Entertainment-TV events on September 27th
In 1954, the "Tonight Show with Steve Allen", TV Comedy Talk show, made
its debut on NBC television at a length of 105 minutes a night. It
previously aired for 15 months on WNBT-TV in New York from June 1953.
"Tonight" became a launching pad for Steve and hundreds of guests,
including Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme. Skitch Henderson and His
Orchestra provided the music. Ernie Kovacs was the host from 1956-
1957.
In 1954, NBC's "The Tonight Show" made its television debut with host
Steve Allen. The late-night show has gone through numerous changes
since then, and yet remains a top-rated show that sets the standards
for all variety/talk shows. Allen served as host until 1957. He was
replaced by Jack Parr, who served until 1962; Johnny Carson reigned
as the king of comedy until 1992. Jay Leno is the current host.
In 1955, "The Milton Berle Show", TV Variety, debut on NBC.
In 1977, USA Network was launched on the MSG Network.
In 1992, the underrated "Ben Stiller Show", TV Variety, premiered on
Fox.
In 1996, the sci-fi sitcom "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch" debut on ABC.
In 1998, 5 years ago, Phil Hartman's voice was featured for the last
time on "The Simpsons" as Troy McClure. Hartman was killed by his
wife in a murder-suicide the previous May.

(with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy).
-
Music events on September 27th
In 1921, "I have made a discovery that will ensure the superiority of
German music for the next 100 years." That's what Arnold Schoenberg
said when he developed his 12-tone method of composition. Schoenberg
started his first 12-tone work, the Wind Serenade on this day. So
what tone work does "Weird Al" Yankovic use when he writes song
parodies? A 27-tone method?
In 1975, R.C., "Main Title (Theme From Jaws)" by John Williams peaked at
#32 on the pop singles chart.
