Not to be confused with The Breakfast Club, an urban contemporary morning show that began in 2010.
Don McNeill's Breakfast Club is a long-run morning variety show on NBC Blue Network/ABC radio (and briefly on television) originating in Chicago, Illinois. Hosted by Don McNeill, the radio program ran from June 23, 1933 through December 27, 1968. McNeil's 35-year run as host remains the longest tenure for an M.C. of a network entertainment program, surpassing Johnny Carson (29 years) on The Tonight Show and Bob Barker (34? years) on The Price Is Right, albeit split between radio and television, whereas the latter two were television only.
