Daytime RevolutionDaytime Revolution

For one extraordinary week in February 1972, the Revolution WAS televised! John Lennon and Yoko Ono took over a Philadelphia broadcasting studio and co-hosted the iconic "Mike Douglas Show" -- at that time a top-rated show reaching a daily audience of 40 million viewers. Lennon and Ono handpicked their controversial guests, including Yippie founder Jerry Rubin, Black Panther Chairman Bobby Seale, as well as political activist Ralph Nader and comic truth teller George Carlin. Their version of daytime TV was a radical take on the traditional format, incorporating candid Q&A sessions with their rapt audience, conversations about radical politics, and unrepeatable performances as the two artists showed the world the power that art can have.
