Overview
Sally Jessy Raphael was one of the first audience-participation, issue-driven talk shows to have a female host, predating
When the show started it covered topics such as people with extreme religious beliefs, but in the later shows Sally and her after specialist Pat Ferrari moved on to more personal family matters such as pregnant and/or out-of-control teens.
As a result, when
In the early years of the nationally syndicated run, Sally Jessy Raphael remained a half-hour show, but in 1986, Raphael expanded production of each episode to an hour's length. However, broadcast markets were allowed to retain a half-hour packaging of her show, which most opted for, especially since stations already had successful half-hour entries, no matter local or national, scheduled before or after Sally. The 30-minute edits resorted to running the closing credit crawls before segments wrapped up, often as guests still had the floor. While only a select few markets picked up the full-hour Sally shows in the 1986-87 season, an increasing number of stations made the option over the next few years, especially as networks started to free up their daytime slots. For example, in January 1989, WCVB-TV in Boston, which had been airing the 30-minute Sally broadcasts at 11 a.m. (having previously aired them in late-night slots from 1984 to 1987), opted to go with the hour-long version when the ABC soap opera Ryan's Hope, which WCVB aired (out of network pattern) at 11:30, was canceled. By 1990, all stations that carried Sally were airing her shows for 60 minutes.
From the summer of 1987 through August 1989, the show originated from the studios of
Famous con man Steve Comisar appeared on Sally as a fraud prevention expert, under the name Brett Champion.[7]
Nick Sutton of Gummo fame was scouted by director Harmony Korine while watching the episode "My Child Died from Sniffing Paint" [8]
The show was canceled due to low ratings, as well as the fading popularity of the genre as a whole, in 2002.[9]
Sally has never been rerun on traditional television. Episodes were available for individual purchase from Video Archives.[10] In 2017, Nosey, a free online streaming service offering video of daytime television shows, began making episodes of Sally available for viewing.[11]
