TEXACO STAR THEATER, THE

Air Date/Released Tuesday, October 19, 1948
Station/Studio NBC
Host/Star Milton Berle
Featuring Moe, Larry and Shemp

Milton Berle's legendary comedy-variety show, so popular with audiences it earned Berle the nickname of "Mr. Television." In its earlier seasons it was a Tuesday night institution, and one of its trademark gags was Milton coming on stage in drag; each week, America wondered what Milton will wear this week.

The Three Stooges' first television appearance. According to The Three Stooges Scrapbook by Jeff & Greg Lenburg and Joan Howard Maurer, "neither a [surviving] kinescope of the show nor a script are available for review."
