In a Billboard review of a 1947 episode of The Dave Garroway Show, Cy Wagner wrote, "Here's the show for those who want soothing, relaxing patter, top music and a meaty thought once in a while."^[3] He added that the program "accentuates the novel Garroway style and also gives the opportunity for some music arranged to fit the plan for a show that has an overall quiet, almost esoteric tone."^[3]

Sponsors included Armour and Company.^[4]

The program originated from WMAQ in Chicago, Illinois.^[3]

Personnel

In addition to Dave Garroway as host, regulars on the program included Charlie Andrews, June Christie, Jim Fleming, Jack Haskell, Vivian Martin, and Connie Russell.^[5] The announcer was Charles Chan. Music was by the Art Van Damme Quintet.^[1]
