The Joe Namath Show was a 1969 talk show hosted by Joe Namath and Dick Schaap. It premiered on October 6, 1969 and lasted one season with 13 episodes. Currently showing on ESPN Classics Thursdays at 6am central time.
Less than nine months after Super Bowl III, Joe Namath showed his celebrity status with this off-beat talk show which ran only one season. He and Dick Schaap (who collaborated on a book during the summer of 1969) invited only people whom they knew, mostly to have a relaxed conversation.
All season long, Joe and Dick reflected on the developing AFL season, in which the Jets would defend their championship bravely, then lose in the playoffs to the Chiefs. Mostly, though, Joe and Dick wanted to bring the best out of their guests.
