ALL STAR REVUE
Air Date/Released | Saturday, December 27, 1952 |
---|---|
Station/Studio | NBC |
Host/Star | Walter O'Keefe |
Featuring | Moe, Larry and Shemp |
1-hour NBC variety program, produced to resemble a vaudeville show or stage revue. It premiered in 1950 as FOUR STAR REVUE with rotating hosts Danny Thomas, Jimmy Durante, Jack Carson and Ed Wynn. Additional hosts were brought in, and in 1951 its title was changed to ALL STAR REVUE.
The Three Stooges guested on this 3rd season episode. L.A. newspaper notices and a couple other sources provide additional information, but not in regard to the Stooges' performance. Walter O'Keefe substitute-hosted for an ailing George Jessel, retaining Jessel's regular toastmaster host setup. Skit topics include football spies, insurance policies, Buster & Eleanor Keaton demonstrate how to put an inebriated spouse to bed, and Johnny Carson "demonstrates" a televised operation. Opposing coaches for the upcoming Rose Bowl, Ivy Williamson (Wisconsin) and Jess Hill (Troy), compare notes on whose team will win.
Crew: Bob Schiller (Writer), Dee Englebach, Dean Elliott (Producers)
