The Lorrae Desmond Show (1960–64) was an early ABC TV production hosted by Lorrae Desmond, who was later known for playing Shirley Gilroy on the drama series A Country Practice (1981–1994).

The show featured live performances and choreographed dance numbers by the Channel 2 Dancers.

With a female host, The Lorrae Desmond Show was a rarity for the early 1960s. The opening sequence, as seen in this clip, also seems quite risqué for the time.
