Guest Appearances
This page lists some of Sammy Davis, Jr.’s guest appearances on non-fictional television shows (e.g. variety/talk shows). The sheer volume of appearances Sammy made through his career make it pointless to attempt to fully document them. Below will be included only notable appearances, and/or appearances linked to entries on this site’s blog. For a more complete catalogue of Sammy’s TV work, the book Beyond Bojangles is highly recommended.
