Beginning January 15, 1955, Sherwood also hosted a late night local show, titled "San Francisco Tonight," on KGO-TV (Channel 7) in San Francisco. He even had his own orchestra. The station, owned and operated by ABC (since its debut in May 1949), wanted Sherwood simply to interview visiting entertainers and other celebrities and to avoid politics or other controversial subjects. However, Sherwood became concerned about the federal government's treatment of the Navajo tribe. Also beginning on January 15, 1955, Don hosted a one half hour television show called "The Belfast Pop Club" with Bill Anderson until June 13, 1955.
