This Is Your Life
*This Is Your Life* is an American television documentary series that aired on NBC, originally hosted by its producer Ralph Edwards from 1952 to 1961. The format of the show involved the host surprising a guest and then guiding them through a retrospective of their life in front of an audience, often featuring appearances by colleagues, friends, and family members. Edwards revived the series in 1971–72, and Joseph Campanella hosted a version in 1983. Edwards later returned for some special episodes in the late 1980s, until his death in 2005. The series originated as a radio program on NBC Radio, which ran from 1948 to 1952.
