Talent Varieties is a country music talent show on American television and radio in 1955 that featured performers hoping to achieve fame in the entertainment business.

Host Slim Wilson

The weekly ABC-TV program was a live half-hour summer replacement series hosted by Slim Wilson. Wilson introduced the amateur and professional talent, including music and comedy acts (many from the Ozarks); and his Tall Timber Trio,[1] composed of Speedy Haworth (guitar), Bob White (upright bass) and Bryan "Doc" Martin (steel guitar) provided accompaniment. Auditions were handled by Bill Ring.[2] The Westport Kids appeared July 12,[3] and Buck Griffin appeared August 2.[4]

The show aired on Tuesday nights from June 28–November 1. Its original time slot was 7:30–8 p.m. Eastern Time, replacing Cavalcade of America, but moved to 10–10:30 p.m. in September to briefly replace Break the Bank.[5]

ABC Radio simulcast the program under the name Talent Round-Up from 7:30 p.m., as well as carrying an additional half-hour until 8:30.[6]

The program originated from the Jewell Theatre in Springfield, Missouri, home to ABC's Ozark Jubilee; and was produced and directed by the Jubilee's Bryan Bisney,[7] who took over from Ring in September.[8]
