THE ED BERNSTEIN SHOW
The Ed Bernstein Show, a 30-minute television talk show, was originally entitled The First Step. Now, after over thirty years in production, it has become the longest running television talk show in the State of Nevada. The show currently airs on NBC affiliates throughout Nevada and can be viewed on Sundays at 3:00 p.m
Our Concept
The Ed Bernstein Show serves as the only resource for entertainment, political, community, educational and civic guests to express opinions and exchange dialog.
While many shows, both locally and nationally, have set agendas and a specific purpose for inviting guests on their shows, Ed always allows the guest to be the focal point of the show. He does not believe in confrontational shows but ones that educate, inform and entertain the viewer.
Ed has a certain disarming approach to the interview process, which greatly assists guests with their level of comfort, allowing the guests to be as candid as they wish. He expresses his appreciation for all of the show’s guests by stating, “Guests are our privilege on this show and are due the utmost respect.”
