In the late 1940s and early 1950s, one of the most popular television shows was hosted by the famous Milton Berle, a comedian and actor who became one of America’s first television stars. Toward the end of his career, yet while his show was still very popular, another unlikely figure appeared on television on the same night who would surpass Milton Berle in the ratings. That figure was not a great comedian or an accomplished actor. The host of the new show was a Roman Catholic bishop, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. The format of the show was really quite simple. It involved Bishop Sheen standing at a blackboard, writing and drawing as he spoke about many of the truths of our Catholic faith. The show was remarkably popular and even won an Emmy Award.
