The world's longest-running TV talk show is called 'Late Night Line-Up', a British program which aired on BBC2 from 1964-1972.

Originally broadcast on Monday through Friday from 10:30pm to 11:00pm, the show featured a mix of interviews, documentaries, and comedy sketches. It was presented by various hosts throughout its run, including Joan Bakewell, Michael Dean, and Tony Bilbow.

The show's pioneering format paved the way for other successful talk shows, such as 'Late Night with David Letterman' and 'The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson' in the United States.
