TV debut

Initial screen appearance

A TV debut is someone's first appearance on television, whether as an actor, performer, guest, or in any other capacity.

The term also applies to a show's first broadcast: The series made its TV debut in 1998.

Like other debut compounds, it marks the beginning of a presence in a particular medium: Her TV debut came on a late-night talk show.
