EVERSHARP SCHICK VARIETIES / aka TONIGHT ON BROADWAY - Showboat

Air Date/Released Monday, May 20, 1946
Station/Studio CBS (radio)
Host/Star Connee Boswell & Ted Husing
Featuring Joe Besser (Solo)

Short run variety series in the Spring of 1946, featuring music and comedy, with sports commentary from Ted Husing.

A tribute to the music of Broadway and the movies' SHOWBOAT is this episode's theme. Before that tribute, the show opens with Connee Boswell singing "Sioux City Sue" and a monologue of jokes by Jan Murray. Ray Bloch's orchestra performs, followed by Bob Doyle singing "Temptation." Joe Besser appears as a lost studio tour guide, whose group is supposed to be sight-seeing in Chinatown. Jan attempts to help him out, but his directions are met by Joe's trademark "Not so fa-a-a-st!" Connee performs "Laughing on the Outside," and then begins the episode's SHOWBOAT salute... "Bill" and "Can't Stop Lovin' That Man of Mine" by Connee, "Why Do I Love You" by Doyle, and music by Ray Bloch & His Orchestra. Cohost Ted Husing wraps things up with some sports news commentary and an interview with Triple Crown winning jockey Earl Sande.


This series' Summer 1946 version was titled TONIGHT ON BROADWAY, and Joe Besser signed on to costar for those weeks.

Cast: Connee Russell, Ted Husing (Hosts), Ken Roberts (Announcer), Bobby Doyle, Jan Murray, Joe Besser, Earl Sande, Ray Bloch and His Orchestra
