Everybody's Talking is an American game show which aired on ABC from February 6 to December 29, 1967.[1] Lloyd Thaxton was the host; Wink Martindale and Charlie O'Donnell were the announcers. Thaxton typically closed each episode by saying, "Keep watching, and keep listening, because everybody's talking!"

Veteran producer Jack Barry created this show during a brief period working for Goodson-Todman. Due to lingering bad publicity concerning his possible involvement in the rigging of Twenty-One and Tic-Tac-Dough in the late 1950s, he asked that his name be kept off the credits.[2] Jerome Schnur Productions packaged the show instead. It was the last American daytime television program aired in black and white, despite the "Big 3" commercial networks having converted to color by September 1967.
