How did daytime television transform from an earnest community forum into a full-blown spectacle of provocative topics and salacious guests that redefined American culture? The new ABC docuseries "Dirty Talk: When Daytime Talk Shows Ruled TV" examines the rise, fall and lasting impact of the most sensational era in television talk show history. By exploring the psychological forces that shaped the talk TV genre, the series reveals how these shows transformed from trusted confessional spaces into lightning rods of controversy, leaving a lasting impact on culture, media and the people caught in the chaos. The new three-part docuseries premieres Wednesday, Jan. 14 (9:02-10:02 p.m. EST), on ABC and streams next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
Hear candid, never-before-told stories from the hosts, producers and insiders who defined the talk TV world, alongside expert analysis that explains why millions tuned in and why guests were willing to unabashedly share it all on national television. "Dirty Talk" traces the evolution of the daytime format, from the influence of soap operas and game shows to the cutthroat competition for ratings and features new accounts from the architects and icons of the genre, including legendary eponymous hosts Maury Povich, Sally Jessy Raphael, Montel Williams and Leeza Gibbons; "Talk Soup" host John Henson; "Ricki Lake" creator Garth Ancier; "Jerry Springer" and "Sally" executive producer and creator Burt Dubrow; and "Geraldo" executive producer Marty Berman. Additionally, former "Jerry Springer Show" bodyguard-turned-host Steve Wilkos, media psychologist Dr. Pamela Rutledge, journalist Ross Benes and more offer behind-the-scenes perspectives and expert context.
