Dave Maynard, the host of the longest running entertainment TV show in history, Community Auditions (1950-1987) made his return in a special appearance as a guest judge on the August 12th episode of Community Auditions Star of the Day. The show aired at 7:30 pm on MyTV New England (WZMY TV) in the Boston area, on WPXT TV Portland Maine’s CW (10:30 pm), and on NECN TV throughout the remainder of New England (7:30 pm).
Taped before a live audience atFoxwoods Resort & Casino, Community Auditions
puts a decidedly 21st Century spin on what was the longest running
TV talent show in history. Each week talented New Englanders strut their
stuff. The August 12th program marked the show’s 14th original episode.
Contestants have ranged from ages 6 to 69.
Maynard has been a special consultant to the new Community Auditions: Star of the Day, and on Sunday night led the audience with the song for which he will be forever linked: Star of the Day. Who will it be?
“Working on the new Community Auditions: Star of the Day has brought back a lot of very fond memories,” noted Maynard in a recent interview. “Once the contestants sing Star of the Day, It’s like welcoming an old friend home who has been away.”
Dave Maynard will make other appearances on the show throughout the remainder of the first season. The grand finale winner will be announced on the December 23rd broadcast.
Community Auditions: Star of the Day airs Sunday evenings, with encore broadcasts on MyTV New England (WZMY) Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 11:00 am, Friday at 11:30 pm and Saturday at 6:30 pm and 11:30 pm.

My mother was a contestant in the 1950′s. Where can I get copies of the shows she was part of? Any help would be wonderful. Mother just passed away two weeks ago, and I would like to get my hands on the recordings if possible.
Thank you

Is it possible to view shows from the 1970s?
My name is Scott Boyle. I was a contestant in the 1970s. I was hoping to obtain a copy of the shows I was on singing Got to be there by michael jackson. Thank you Scott Boyle
My Mom just passed away on January 20, I found out while she was in the hospital very, very ill with lung cancer that she was on community auditions up against Johnny Mathis and came in second to him. How would I get copies of this recording?

Dear People at Community Auditions, I am making a movie based on the life of Scott Townsend. He was a contestant on your show several times in the 1980′s, he is a well know singer and female impersonator now. I am very interested in acquiring footage of his early singing, is it at all possible to get copies of his auditions from the 1980′s? Thank you very much for your time and your consideration and especially for keeping the show going!
Thank you for the reply. Where do you think I can find out where the old recordings are stored? Hopefully they are archived somewhere. Any help would be appreciated
