''Talk of the Town'' was a short lived comedy and talk show performed at the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1982 and aired on cable television. Directed by Doug Raymond and hosted by comedienne Jaye P. Morgan, ''Talk of the Town'' was primarily a talk-show in which some guests performed short stand-up comedy routines before joining a panel. Other guests simply joined the panel for discussion of their personal lives and careers. Discussion often included sexually oriented jokes, insults and gossip with Morgan and her co-host comedian Pat Cooper. Morgan often emphasized the unscripted and adult nature of the show. In the first of the video episodes she introduces the show as ''Talk of the Town'' as ''"The most adult show on television. It's going to shock you, turn you on, turn you off, but it will make you think and see and experience. You will see things on this show that will surprise you, shock you, so kick back, brush away those conservative cobwebs..."'' Roughly three-quarters of the way through each show, a short lingerie fashion show took place with models wearing bathing-suits, underwear or nightgowns provided by Las Vegas design shop Midnight Lace, which at that time was located in the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas. == Home Video == ''Talk of the Town'' was filmed live for cable television and subsequently released by adult video distributor VCX on their in house non-adult video label VCII. Two cassette tapes of Talk of the Town were released by VCII. Show 1 (catalog number VC115) was released in 1983, and Show 2 (catalog number VC127) in 1984. The covers of both VCII VHS releases shared the same cover design as nearly all of VCII's releases. The bottom third of the cover was white with the distributors logo, while the top two thirds displayed artwork from the featured content. In the case of ''Talk of the Town'', both covers had the same art in a different color scheme and with the starring personalities in star shaped frames. ''Just For the Hell Of It'', a rare and out of print video distributor has compiled both of the shows onto a single DVD volume. The DVD cover also reproduces to a large extent the original art used on the VCII VHS cassette covers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Talk of the Town (variety show)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
