'The Early Show' is an American television morning news talk show broadcast by CBS from New York City. The program airs live from 7 to 9 a.m. Eastern Time Monday through Friday; most affiliates in the Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones air the show on tape-delay from 7 to 9 a.m. local time. The Saturday edition airs live from 8 to 10 a.m. Eastern Time, but a number of affiliates air it later on tape-delay. The Early Show features news pieces, weather, celebrity interviews and light entertainment. In some markets, the Saturday version may not air. Having premiered on November 1, 1999, it is the youngest of the major networks' morning shows, although CBS has made several attempts to program in the morning slot since 1954. The show airs as a division of CBS News.

The Early Show, like many of its predecessors, has traditionally run last in the ratings to its rivals, NBC's Today and ABC's Good Morning America. Much like NBC's The Today Show and The Tonight Show, the title The Early Show is analogous to that of CBS's late-night talk show, The Late Show.
