Person to Person

Person to Person is a television interview show, originally hosted by Edward R. Murrow, which ran on CBS from 1953 to 1961 (with CBS newscaster Charles Collingwood taking over as host for the final two seasons). The series interviewed celebrities in their homes, and guests included such noted figures as John F. Kennedy, Jerry Lewis, Lauren Bacall, John Steinbeck, and Mike Nichols and Elaine May.
