David Cunningham "Dave" Garroway (July 13, 1913 – July 21, 1982) was the founding host of NBC's Today from 1952 to 1961. His easygoing, relaxed, and relaxing style belied a battle with depression[4] that may have contributed to the end of his days as a leading television personality—and, eventually, his life. He was honored for his contributions to radio and television with a star for each on the Hollywood Walk of Fame[5] as well as the St. Louis Walk of Fame.[6]

Early life

Born in Schenectady, New York, Garroway was 14 and had moved with his family 13 times before settling in St. Louis, Missouri, where he attended University City High School and Washington University in St. Louis, from which he earned a degree in abnormal psychology.[7][8] Before going into broadcasting, Garroway worked as a Harvard University lab assistant, selling books, and as a piston ring salesman.[9] After not being able to successfully sell either, Garroway decided to try his hand in radio.[10]

He began his broadcasting career modestly, starting as an NBC page in 1938, and then graduated from NBC's school for announcers, 23rd in a class of 24.[11] Even so, he landed a job at influential Pittsburgh radio station KDKA in 1939.[8] He roamed the region, filing a number of memorable reports from a hot-air balloon, from a U.S. Navy submarine in the Ohio River, and from deep inside a coal mine. Those early reports earned Garroway a reputation for finding a good story, even if it took him to unusual places.[10] The "Roving Announcer", as he was known, worked his way up to become the station's special events director, in addition to his on-air work.[12][13] After two years with KDKA, Garroway left for Chicago.[14]

Radio

When the United States entered World War II in 1941, Garroway enlisted in the U.S. Navy, but one trip out to Honolulu convinced the young man that perhaps he was a little better suited for radio instead. The Navy agreed to let him run a yeoman's school instead, and on his off-hours he hosted a radio show, on which he played jazz records and reminisced about the old days back in Chicago.[4] After the war, he returned to the Windy City as a disc jockey at WMAQ (AM).[11][15] On the air, he retained the persona he crafted in Honolulu to great success in a series of radio programs: The 11:60 Club, The Dave Garroway Show, and Reserved for Garroway.[10][16] One oddity Garroway introduced on his radio shows was having the studio audience respond to a song number not by applauding but by snapping their fingers.[17] He also organized a series of jazz concerts in Chicago and created a "Jazz Circuit" of local clubs in 1947 which brought back interest in this form of music.[18][19] His fellow disk jockeys voted him the nation's best in the 1948 and 1949 Billboard polls.[20][21] He won the award again in 1951.[22]

Garroway was the first "communicator" on NBC Radio's Monitor when the program began on June 12, 1955.[23] He continued as the Sunday evening host of the news/music program from 1955 to 1961.[24] Garroway worked on the air at WCBS radio in 1964 and briefly hosted the afternoon drive shift at KFI in Los Angeles in late 1970 and early 1971.[25][26]

Television

Garroway and crew on Today show set first broadcast January 14, 1952.

Garroway was introduced to the national television audience when he hosted the experimental musical variety show Garroway at Large,[27] telecast live from Chicago. It was carried by NBC from June 18, 1949, to June 24, 1951.[28][29][30][31]

His shows reflected his relaxed, informal style. In 1960, New York Times reviewer Richard F. Shepard wrote, "He does not crash into the home with the false jollity and thunderous witticisms of a backslapper. He is pleasant, serious, scholarly looking and not obtrusively convivial." Garroway was known for his signoff, saying "Peace" with an upraised palm.[32]

Along with Arthur Godfrey, Arlene Francis, and Jack Paar, Garroway was one of the pioneers of television talk. Television commentator Steven D. Stark traces the origins of the style to Chicago.[33] Garroway, Studs Terkel, and Hugh Downs all hosted relaxed, garrulous, extemporaneous shows in that city in the early 1950s. Earlier radio and television voices spoke with an authoritative "announcer's" intonation, resembling public oration, often dropping about a musical fifth on the last word of a sentence. Garroway was one of the broadcasters who introduced conversational style and tone to television, beginning some broadcasts as though the viewer were sitting in the studio with him, as in this November 20, 1957, introduction for the Today show: "And how are you about the world today? Let's see what kind of shape it's in; there is a glimmer of hope."

Legendary pioneering NBC president Sylvester "Pat" Weaver picked Garroway to host his new morning news-and-entertainment experiment, the Today show, in 1951.[34] Garroway soon was joined by news editor Jim Fleming and announcer Jack Lescoulie as television's first loose "family" of the airwaves when the show debuted on Monday, January 14, 1952.[35] Though initially panned by critics, Garroway's style attracted a large audience that enjoyed his easygoing presence early in the morning.[36][37] His familiar "cohost," a chimpanzee with the puckish name of J. Fred Muggs, didn't hurt his genial manner, but his concurrent seriousness in dealing with news stories and ability to clearly explain abstract concepts earned him the nickname "The Communicator" and eventually won praise from critics and viewers alike.[11]

At the same time he did Today, Garroway also hosted a Friday night variety series, The Dave Garroway Show,[38] from October 2, 1953, to June 25, 1954, and on October 16, 1955, he began hosting NBC's Sunday afternoon live documentary Wide Wide World, continuing with that series until June 8, 1958. Another Friday evening variety show, Dave's Place, was on the air in 1960.[39] He also hosted a radio show, Dial Dave Garroway, that went on the air as soon as Today wrapped up each morning.[36][40] Dial Dave Garroway began in 1946 when Garroway was still working for WMAQ in Chicago.[41]

Garroway had a vast curiosity that led Today wherever his ideas took it: to Paris in 1959 and Rome in 1960, to car shows and technology expos, to plays and movies, and even on board an Air Force B-52 for a practice bombing run—in short, everywhere in the world then accessible to television. When the show couldn't go outside to the world, the world was brought into the studio, evidenced by the parade of politicians, writers, artists, scientists, economists, musicians, and many others who visited Garroway and company in the RCA Exhibition Hall, Today's then home on West 49th Street in Manhattan.[42]

In late 1960, Garroway hosted a special filmed program for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association that traced Billy Graham's crusades from 1949 to 1960. The program was included in a special DVD released by the BGEA late in 2010.[citation needed]

But Garroway's easygoing camera presence masked a man fighting inner demons from several angles. Disagreements with staff members became more frequent, and some days Garroway would disappear in the middle of the show, leaving Lescoulie to finish the live program. Far worse, however, was the April 28, 1961 drug-related death of his second wife, Pamela,[43][44] plunging Garroway further into depression and mental instability.[4] In late May 1961, Garroway resigned, announcing his intention to leave Today-either at the end of October when his contract was finished or sooner, if possible; he wanted to spend more time with his children.[45][46] On June 16, 1961, television's "Communicator" said goodbye to the morning show he helped pioneer.[47]

After leaving Today, Garroway returned to television on National Educational Television (the forerunner of PBS) with a science series called Exploring the Universe in late 1962.[48] Later he went back to working in radio, doing "split shift" shows called Garroway AM (mid mornings) and Garroway PM (mid afternoons) for WCBS (AM), New York.[25] Garroway also started a magazine, National FM-Radio; the venture was a costly failure with Garroway realizing he was not cut out to be a businessman.[49] While he was in the publishing business, Garroway began reading various law books in an effort to try to understand what his lawyer was saying. His attorney told him that he had done enough legal reading to pass the New York State bar exam. On a bet, Garroway sat for and passed the written exam.[50]

In July 1969, Garroway launched a daytime talk show on WNAC-TV, Tempo Boston,[7] which he hoped would be picked up for national syndication. The program lasted into early 1970 and never aired outside Boston. The show had promise but was canceled when management decided to show old movies instead of local live shows. After leaving the Boston airwaves, Garroway traveled to southern California, hosting a music-and-talk show on KFI radio in Los Angeles.[26] He planned to reenter the television world with a CBS summer replacement show, Newcomers, but the show never made it past the summer of 1971.[8][51] While in Los Angeles, Garroway began to take acting workshops; he had a role in an episode of the western series Alias Smith and Jones as a judge in 1972.[49]

Garroway appeared sporadically on other television programs without achieving anywhere near the success and recognition levels he enjoyed on Today. The most viewers saw of him for the rest of the 1960s and 1970s was whenever he reemerged for Today anniversaries. His final such appearance was on the 30th anniversary show, on January 14, 1982.[9]

He was very interested in astronomy, and during a tour of Russian telescopes he met his third wife, astronomer Sarah Lee Lippincott. In his final years, he attended astronomy symposia at Swarthmore College and spent time at Sproul Observatory.[8][51]

One of Garroway's many interests was fine vintage automobiles. He expertly restored them as a hobby; one of his favorites was a 1938 Jaguar SS100, which Garroway also raced in his spare time.[52][53][54][55]

Other media

In his role as Today host, Garroway acted as pitchman for several of the show's sponsors. Among them were Admiral television sets, Alcoa and Sergeant's dog food. Most of the appearances were in the form of print ads in newspapers and magazines.[56] By 1960, there was also a board game called "Dave Garroway's Today Game".[57][58]

Garroway, an amateur drummer[59] and inveterate music lover, lent his name to a series of recordings of jazz, classical, and pop music released in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Among them were Wide, Wide World of Jazz,[60] 1957's Some of My Favorites and 1958's Dave Garroway's Orchestra: An Adventure in Hi-Fi Music.[61] In a lighter vein, Garroway narrated a compilation of romantic songs performed by the Boston Pops Orchestra, Getting Friendly with Music, in 1956.

Garroway also served as narrator for special albums, including 1964's The Great Campaigners, 1928–1960[62] and 1960's Names From the Wars.

In 1960, Garroway penned Fun on Wheels, an activity book for children on road trips. The book was revised and reissued in 1962 and 1964.[63]

Toward the end of his life, Garroway planned to write an autobiography. The book never made it past the research stage; the surviving notes, manuscripts, audio tapes, and news clippings were sent to former Today researcher Lee Lawrence. Upon Lawrence's death in 2003, the boxes were turned over to the Library of American Broadcasting, Special Collections, University of Maryland Libraries, where they resided as of 2009.[64]

Death

After having undergone heart surgery, Garroway was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, home on July 21, 1982.[9][11][32] He had one son, David Jr., and a daughter, Paris. When he married Pamela in 1956,[65] he adopted her son, Michael, whom he raised as his own even after her death.

The July 22 edition of Today was mainly a remembrance of Garroway. Sidekick Jack Lescoulie, news editor Frank Blair, and former consumer reporter Betty Furness offered tributes on the show.[66] Garroway's passing was noted on NBC Nightly News with John Chancellor, the man who replaced Garroway on Today 21 years earlier.[67] On NBC News Overnight, host Linda Ellerbee closed the program with "Peace" instead of her usual "And so it goes."[68]

Because of Garroway's dedication to the cause of mental health, his third wife, Sarah, helped establish the Dave Garroway Laboratory for the Study of Depression at the University of Pennsylvania. He is buried in West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.

Parodies and fictional representations

Robert McKimson's 1960 cartoon Wild Wild World depicts "Cave Darroway" presenting footage from the Stone Age.

Mad spoofed him in one issue as "Dave Garrowunway."

In Robert Redford's 1994 film Quiz Show, Garroway was portrayed by Barry Levinson.
