Gateway to Hollywood is an American old-time radio talent show. It was broadcast on CBS from January 8, 1939, to December 31, 1939.[1] Like other programs from Major Bowes Amateur Hour to American Idol, the show sought to turn relatively unknown people into celebrities.[2] The same title was used by an unrelated program that was broadcast on the Don Lee Network in the mid-1930s.[3]
