Elke Sommers
German actress Elke Sommers co-hosted The Mike Douglas Show for a week in February 1972. After she fled Germany during World War II, Sommers made a name for herself as an actress, appearing in over 100 TV and film roles.
Grace Slick
When Jefferson Airplane performed on The Dick Cavett Show in 1969, their lead singer, Grace Slick, became the first person to say “the F word” on TV, sending censors into full panic mode. She uttered the word while singing their song “We Can Be Together,” and it shocked audiences, Cavett, and viewers all around. This incident led to TV censorship as we know it.
