Collection: The Mike Wallace Interview

Decades before "60 Minutes", “The Mike Wallace Interview” was the precursor to the gold standard of investigative journalism shows. Hosted by journalist Mike Wallace from 1957 until 1960, the show featured in-depth interviews with prominent figures in politics, entertainment and art. His interviews created a new standard for TV journalism by providing an in-depth and unique perspective to well-known names and faces in all walks of society at the time. Guests include Eleanor Roosevelt, Carol Burnett, Dick Van Dyke, Henny Youngman, Salvador Dali, Martin Luther King and Gloria Swanson and many more. Wallace went on to be one of the original correspondents on "60 Minutes" and cemented his place as one of the industry’s most formidable interviewers.
