IDEAL TOYS PART 5

[fromthesidelines]

This is from a 1960 Ideal Toys promotional film; this section tells the Ideal sales staff and executives what kind of TV show they're going to be sponsoring in the fall...and it's "THE SHARI LEWIS SHOW", beginning that October [NBC, Saturdays, 10-10:30am(et)]. As an example of what to expect, a kinescope from one of Shari's appearances on a prime-time variety show {"PERRY COMO'S KRAFT MUSIC HALL", perhaps?} is featured...

Shari Lewis and Paul Winchell were and will always be the best ventriloquists EVER.

Shari Lewis enjoyed non-stop popularity & was one of the most beloved American ventriloquists in the business. She is missed.

@bobsullivan14 even in the 90's during my gradeschool years, she was my first celeb crush

Sherri Lewis and Lamb chop were some of the first memories I had as a child. Oh my goodness what a cute Lamb chop, and Sherri was great at never letting us see her lips move. Thanks for the memories.
