Circus of the Stars
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|
Circus of the Stars was an annual television special, broadcast by the CBS network in the United States, in which celebrities performed circus-type acts. There were 19 shows in total, the first being broadcast in 1977 and the last in 1994.[1] Over the years the series featured many leading movie and television stars.
Towards the end of its life the programme title was changed slightly. In 1992 it was Circus of the Stars and Sideshow, in 1993 it became Circus of the Stars Gives Kids the World and in 1994 it was Circus of the Stars Goes to Disneyland. Although the show has ceased in the United States, the concept has been emulated in other countries where similar programmes continue to be made, notably Stars in der Manege in Germany.
