Val De La O Show

Val De La O Show is an American television music variety show hosted by Valentino De La O. The series was produced by NBC-affiliate KOB. The show was nationally and internationally syndicated in the United States and Mexico, and several outlets referred to the host in the show being the "Spanish Equivalent of Johnny Carson". The show was among the first Spanish-language programs to seek national syndication, and was the first to actually become widely syndicated. This widespread syndication, to over 20 large national broadcast networks, was due to multiple syndication efforts.

The host jokingly said, of the show, "we are the typical 20-year overnight success story." The show featured many celebrities, such as Anthony Quinn, Ricardo Montalbán, José Feliciano, Antonio Aguilar, Pedro Vargas, Lucha Villa, Lola Beltrán, Ken Curtis who played Festus in "Gunsmoke", Kirk Douglas, Muhammad Ali, Don Knotts, Johnny Weissmueller, and Freddy Fender. It also featured musicians such as Baby Gaby, Roberto Griego, Al Hurricane, Al Hurricane Jr., and René Ornelas (René y René); since the show contained performances by local New Mexico and Texas musicians, the show also brought national and international attention to Tejano and New Mexico music.
