“Tonight, from the village of Harlem of New York City. The world-famous Apollo theater, where dreams are born and legends are made is proud present..IT’S SHOWTIME AT THE APOLLO!”
Here’s my version of closing the show: “Tonight’s show was taped at the world famous Apollo theater in the village of Harlem in New York City. For IT’S SHOWTIME AT THE APOLLO, this is Alden R. Davis saying: “Keep holding on your dreams, and keep reaching for the stars.”
I grew up watching "It's Showtime at the Apollo". In most markets, It aired after Saturday Night Live. My TV market where this show aired was WRC-TV Washington, DC NBC 4
Tonight's Show Was Taped At The World Famous Apollo Theatre In New York City For IT'S SHOWTIME AT THE APOLLO!!! This Is Trey Buffington Saying Good Night!!!!
That intro could make the most stiff of people turn into well-oiled dancing machines. I miss those days! They knew Apollo was too good so they had to try and replace it with *_American Idol / Got Talent_* 😒😒
The comedian was very good. Bobby Sleighton(?) Wonder why he didnt make it all the way, he was that good. Hell, if a white man comedian can make the Apollo laugh as well as they laughed, he should have made it all the way. Although, in today's time he would not be able to say any of the non P.C. things he said. Which is a shame. We all take things too seriously. We all need to be able to laugh at ourselves.
@@1986SSMONTECARLO it was on Sunday nights for while when it was on WBMG 42, Before it was wiat. the last time i saw this apollo it was on Saturday nights on WVTM channel 13.
I loved seeing the whole episode, but I had to fast forward when it came to the hosts. Gilbert Godfrey is screaming, and the guy doing the Amateur Night was corny. Other than that, it was a great to look at. I remember staying up past my bedtime on Saturday nights to watch the show! Time flies by so fast...
