EDDIE CANTOR COMEDY THEATRE, THE - What Do You Want in a Show?

Air Date/Released Wednesday, July 27, 1955
Station/Studio Syndicated / ZIV
Host/Star Eddie Cantor
Featuring Moe, Larry and Shemp

Filmed, half-hour comedy series presenting Eddie Cantor doing all his trademark routines and musical numbers, and featuring guest stars in sketches hosted by Cantor.

Eddie's wife and staff inform him that he should consider viewers' requests for show ideas, but instead of letters in his filing cabinets, he finds The Three Stooges. The Stooges star in the skit, "A Night in the U.S. Mint," as inept bank robbers Butch (Moe), Lefty (Larry), and Spike (Shemp), who attempt to tunnel into a bank vault, but wind up instead in the U.S. Mint... but are too dumb to realize where they are!


Syndicated, the episode's airdate varied by market. In Buffalo NY, it aired on July 27, 1955.
