The Jim Nabors Hour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jim Nabors Hour was a variety television series hosted by Jim Nabors which aired on the CBS television network from 1969 to 1971.

Fresh from his success with Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., which had put his backwoods "Gomer Pyle" character which originated on The Andy Griffith Show in a military context, the show not only built on that success, including Ronnie Schell and Frank Sutton, two of Nabors' old co-stars, but also took advantage of his talented baritone singing voice, which had been used on the Pyle show on occasion and had gotten Nabors several gold records in the late 1960s.
