The Dave Garroway Show is an American television variety program that was broadcast on NBC from October 2, 1953, to June 25, 1954.[1]

Vincent Terrace's Encyclopedia of Television Shows, 1925 through 2010 described the show as "A casual program of music, songs, and chatter."[2] The 30-minute program was broadcast on Friday nights.[1]

As the title indicated, Dave Garroway was the host. For the nine months that the program aired on Friday evenings, he was also host of the Today morning program.[3] Other regulars on the program were Jack Haskell, Jill Corey, Cliff Norton, and Shirley Hammer, along with dancers Ken Spaulding and Diane Sinclair.[1]
