27th Academy Awards Show (1955)
An amazing comparison in eras! Back in the 50's the Academy and it's members were adults who believed in entertainment. Unlike today with aging boomers and their various agendas being shoved down the throats of the paying public. This is the complete telecast hosted by Bob Hope. Bing Crosby is onscreen for five and a half minutes, joking with Bob and handing out music awards. Rosemary Clooney sings "The Man Who Got Away" and Dean Martin sings "Three Coins in a Fountain." Johnny Desmond sings "The High & the Mighty". This is the year Bing did NOT win an Oscar for "Country Girl" but Grace Kelly did. Among those stars seen are Marlon Brando (who wins best actor), Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Eva Marie Saint (who makes her famous quip upon winning the Oscar "I may have the baby right here", Walt Disney, Jerry Lewis, Danny Kaye, Frank Sinatra and many more.

Steve Allen & the N.B.C. All-stars (c1958)
featuring Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Groucho Marx, Dinah Shore, George Montgomery, Bob Cummings, Lee Marvin,
Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis Jr.
Steve Allen's show sets the pace for a variety of N.B.C. stars to plug their upcoming season of shows. Steve welcomes Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Dinah Shore, George Montgomery, Bob Cummings, Lee Marvin, Peter Lawford, and others who had shows scheduled on N.B.C. for that season. Bob Cummings does a comedy bit on his new season premiere of "Love That Bob". Tom Posten does a comedy interview with Steve as "The Fly" which was a box office smash hit (if you can believe it!). Steve does a murder skit playing a wise-cracking corpse to Lee Marvin (M-Squad), Peter Lawford ("The Thin Man") and Ellery Queen. Bob Hope does a comedy monologue about the rash of TV westerns with some racy jokes about cowboys with purses! Steve also does a great song parody with Sammy Davis Jr. called "The Death of the Blues".
Following Steve Allen's show is a network episode of Milton Berle with Peter Lawford and Carol Channing (singing her legendary "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend"). Some nice Buick commercials are contained in this Berle show. Then George Gobel's premiere show with Fred MacMurray as his guest. George does some comedy skits about how he and his wife Alice got him into show business. Bob Cummings plays his regular character of Bob Collins as well as his Grandpa in a network episode of "Love That Bob" complete with Winston commercials. It seems that grandpa is angry at the air force for not allowing him back in and starts dropping bottles of explosive boot-leg liquor on the base and Bob has to chase him down in his old W.W. 1 bi-plane!

JACK BENNY Vol 2 - Road to Nairobi w/ Bob Hope - Baby Face Bogart

Humphrey Bogart makes a rare appearence on television as "Baby Face Bogart" in a parody of his old gangster image. Jack is part of the detective squad who must question him. Other cast members include Bob Crosby and Don Wilson as part of the detective squad. One of Benny's trademarks was to work in the sponsor's product as part of the sketch. Bogart shows mock disdain at having to do a cigarette commercial while in the middle of a tense scene in the show!

JACK BENNY Vol 3
This has a musical theme to it with both shows featuring musical guests.

JACK BENNY Vol 4
Every season Jack would hold a talent contest whereby so-called unknowns could perform. Actually these were seasoned character actors doing funny bits including Mel Blanc. He would also get cameo appearances by some stars as in this case with Jayne Mansfield. The next shows is "The Jam Session" as Jack holds a musical outing in his home with fellow musicians Dick Powell, Dan Daley, Fred MacMurray, Tony Martin and Kirk Douglas!

Hancock and features Milton's guests Elvis Presley, Harry James and his Orchestra with Buddy Rich on drums and musical star Esther Williams. Arnold Stang is along for laughs as a sailor who wins a date with Esther. Elvis sings "Heartbreat Hotel" and "Blue Suede Shoes" then Milton comes out as Elivs' "twin brother" and proceeds to destroy his guitar in a mock duet with Elvis. Harry James plays the swing classic "One O'Clock Jump" (actually his version is re-titled "Two O'Clock Jump"!)
  The second show on this tape is an unusual show in that Milton Berle is not in the Buick-Berle show so a cardboard cut-out with a recorded voice kibitzes with Arnold Stang and guests  Paul Winchell with Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead and comedy greats Smith and Dale, Jack Buchanan, Kay Thompson  and Dolores Gray. This is a real old time vaudeville-musical style variety show. Kay Thompson sings "Shadrack". England's musical-comedy star Jack Buchanan does a comic monologue about the differences between England and America then sings "I Hate the Morning". Kay Thompson returns to sing "It's Alright with Me" and sings and dances to "I Love a Violin". Then Jack Buchanan plays the violin ("Love in Bloom!") and sings a duet with Kay "We Love a Cup Of Tea". Paul Winchell  is next with music and gags. Dolores Gray is next singing "Finger of Suspicion". Smith and Dale are delicatessen owners doing their comedy routines.

Nancy Walker plays the president of Milton's fan club.
  The next show features Carol Channing, Peter Lawford, Maria Riva and Arnold Stang and has the Buick commercials intact. Like a Broadway musical-comedy, these shows had a chorus line of singing-dancing girls and comedy skits. Carol Channing sings her classic signature tune "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend". Peter Lawford sings and clowns around with Uncle Miltie.
  In this third offering, Jack Benny "adopts" Milton Berle! You've got to see this one to believe it!

BROADWAY OPEN HOUSE  & CAVALCADE OF STARS starring Jerry Lester
Primitive early television is represented by a prime time CAVALCADE OF STARS show with John Garfield in a rare TV appearence hosted by Jerry Lester. Then, a  1950 network late-night program was the first of the "late-night variety shows" that would evolve into the Tonite Show, Saturday Night Live and others. In this Program from December 12, 1950 Jerry Lester is the host and ring-leader of what can only be described as an off-the-cuff mixture of vaudeville, music, quiz and games and just about anything else to fill up the hour. The show was called BROADWAY OPEN HOUSE.  In between songs, tap dances and jokes, Jerry Lester valiantly keeps the proceedings moving along without the benefit of any writing, production values, big name guests or even a format to work around. None of this had yet been invented. There were no "top ten lists", no "Tea-time movie" skits, or much of anything else now associated with the Steve Allen, Johnny Carson era follow-ups. Joining Jerry Lester is David Street, Milton DeLugg, Wayne Howell and the voluptuous, statuesque Dagmar!

Bob Cummings in "MY HERO"
Bob Cummings displayed a comic persona that was largely untapped in his dramatic acting days in the movies. But television gave him a chance to display his versatility in three different series. This selection is two episodes from "MY HERO". In the opening episode of this volume, FISHING TRIP (complete with network commercials), Bob is commissioned by his boss to haul supplies on the annual Real Estate Association camping and fishing contest. His boss wants to win the biggest fish prize but gets stuck in his nap sack when the zipper won't open. Bob goes off to borrow a knife but is sidetracked by the pretty daughter of the rival broker and she catches the fish and Bob. Or does she?

Remember when the Tonite Show started at 11:15 and again at 11:30? Ed McMahon did two openings for those stations that joined the show at 11:30 rather than 11:15. It was an hour and 45 minutes long in those days. This is one of the earliest surviving shows of that era. Johnny’s guests include movie actress Arlene Dahl (who does a tea leaf-reading bit with Johnny), book writer and TV show panelist Henry Morgan, trial attorney J.W. Erlich (who has some stunning revelations about certain Constitutional rights that are as relevant today as back then), and a great jazz music collection of stars featuring Pete Fountain, Skitch Henderson, Tommy Newsome and Doc Severinson in several jazz, blues and Dixieland selections. This program is complete but comes from the Army-Air force Radio-TV service so commercials are absent. It still runs at 1 hour and 15 minutes and gives an excellent example of how different the talk shows were in these more laid-back days of late night television.
