The Delo and Daly Show was an early 1960s television show hosted by two charismatic American performers, Ken Delo and Jonathan Daly.

The comedic pair brought a Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis vibe to Australian television with their music and variety show, which included comedy sketches, an in-house orchestra, weekly performances by vocal group Take Five and a dance troupe called the Joe Latona Dancers. They also showcased up-and-coming Australian singers and musicians.

In this comedy sketch from episode 10 of the show, Ken Delo interviews a travelling folk singer, played by Jonathan Daly, in a segment called 'Let's Talk'.
