It also features a promo for Jack's radio program on CBS radio. The show was presented everyother week during the regular TV season, rotating with Private Secretary which ran during the summer season. Visit www.dougquick.com

  • I quit smoking almost a year ago..... You have no idea what I'd give for a Lucky (or any other cigarette right now).

  • Ummm, I think it was Raymond Scott who wrote that "Get Happy, go Lucky" jingle music.

  • The network is coming on; I gotta hide!

  • In these kinescope film copies, which were telecast by those affiliates who couldn't air the show live on Sundays, they were often shown as late as six weeks after the original airdate. The CBS staff announcer's lines were often "muted" during the network I.D. in these kinescopes, for obvious reasons. Sometimes, the announcer identified the network; other times, he might have said, "Enjoy Ed Sullivan's 'TOAST OF THE TOWN', next, on the CBS Television Network".

  • ok when is the little man going to come on and say "This is the CBS Television Network:?

  • And we will study Ms. Gam's . . . . chess and . . . moves. 

    Was this live TV kinescope

  • You know what I'm doing? I'm studying my chest.

  • Yes. When the school was dedicated in 1961, he visited Waukegan and taped an episode there about the school. When he revisited it years later, one of the kids asked him, "Mr. Benny, why did they name you after our school?". That literally floored him...

  • Jack grew up in Waukegan, Illinois. There's still a middle school there named after him....

  • At 3:57, a live staff announcer usually added, "Enjoy Ed Sullivan's 'TOAST OF THE TOWN', next of the CBS Television Network".
