Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts is an American radio and television variety show which ran on CBS from 1946 until 1958. Sponsored by Lipton Tea, it stars Arthur Godfrey, who was also hosting Arthur Godfrey and His Friends at the same time. The concept for the show was that Godfrey had several "talent scouts" who brought their discoveries onto the program to showcase their talents. The winner of each show was determined by a meter which judged the audience's applause. The radio series began July 2, 1946, and was heard on CBS Tuesday evenings at 9pm. The winner on October 1, 1946, was pianist... José Melis, who later became a familiar late night television personality as the orchestra leader on Jack Paar's Tonight show. In the summer of 1947, Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts moved to Fridays at 9:30pm. After August 1947 it aired on Mondays at 8:30pm. The radio show continued until October 1, 1956. With Archie Bleyer leading the orchestra, the show's announcer was George Bryan.
