  • This is definitely a 16mm "kinnie", transferred from the original videotape, 'sallyrob', intended for delayed broadcast on those stations that didn't have videotape playback machines {especially if you were affiliated with ABC}. ABC saved very few of their videotapes from this period (and neither did Bing).

  • This appears to be either a kinescope or a lower quality videotape of one of Bing's ABC television shows. He had done many of his radio programs on ABC because they let him record them, using the new medium of magnetic tape. Later, Bing was one of the hosts of one of ABC's early color series, "The Hollywood Palace."

  • The eeriest thing about watching this today is the shockingly bad production values for a show with such a stellar cast, but that was variety television at the time. Look at everyone on the floor at the end of the first song. Great show, though, and such a kick to see Crosby and Hope work together in something so basically unfamiliar to a modern viewer.

  • This special originally aired on May 14, 1962 on ABC [initially seen on videotape]; this was around the time Hope and Crosby co-starred in their final "Road" picture, "The Road To Hong Kong". Bud Collyer, best known as emcee of "TO TELL THE TRUTH" on CBS Monday nights, is Kodak's spokesman in the first ad (he started out as a radio announcer). Ken Carpenter, Bing's best-known radio announcer during the '40s and '50s, performs the same duties here..

  • Bing and Bob were the best

  • what year?

  • Thanks very much for posting this! It's always wonderful to see Bob and Bing together, especially for the first time.
