Dean & Jerry were NBC's "secret weapon" on "THE COLGATE COMEDY HOUR"; of all the rotating hosts (including Eddie Cantor and Abbott & Costello), they were the most popular, and usually had the most viewers tuning in at 8pm(et) on Sunday nights whenever they headlined the show. In contrast, "TOAST OF THE TOWN", as Ed Sullivan's competing CBS series was titled at the time, featured as his guests that evening: Ralph Bellamy [star of 'MAN AGAINST CRIME"], Pinky Lee, Vaughn Monroe, and Tessie O'Shea.
@darkgirl18number Actually he had already divorced Betty and married Jeannie in 1949. Jeannie by this date was pregnant with Dean Paul. But Dean was in court alot - mostly with previous business dealings where Dean sold percentages of himself against future earnings, plus there was the IRS and past agents. Yes there further court dealings with Betty after the divorce over alimony and later child custody
