''Look Upon a Star'' was an American live television series, hosted by Bess Myerson〔(''New York Times'', Joseph Cates obituary (October 12, 1998) )〕 and produced by Joseph Cates. The series aired on two DuMont Television Network stations, WABD and WTTG, during 1947. The show also aired on WRGB-TV, the General Electric TV station in Schenectady, New York.〔(''The Afro American'' (November 1, 1947) )〕 The show featured high school students, was one of television's earliest talent series, and was a 30-minute series broadcast on Tuesdays at 7:30pm ET. The Comet Candy Company was the sponsor. ''Look Upon a Star'' replaced ''Highway to the Stars'' (August to October 1947), and was itself replaced by ''Camera Headlines'' in January 1948. ==Controversy== According to the November 1, 1947 edition of newspaper ''The Afro American'', an episode in which an African-American male and a white female, both members of the Katherine Dunham dance troupe, appeared on ''Look Upon a Star''. The couple performed a dance together on the show, which created a controversy, with more than 100 objecting letters being sent in. In response, Joseph Cates, one of the producers of the series, was quoted as saying "as producers we exercise the democratic privilege of producing our own shows as we see fit. The prejudiced television viewer can exercise his democratic privilege of switching his dial off or to a different station".〔(''The Afro American'' (November 1, 1947) )〕
