One of Television's brightest jewels, Gisele MacKenzie, invited Edie Adams to join her on "The Gisele MacKenzie Show", a live broadcast from March 22, 1958. Co-produced by Jack Benny's J&M Productions and Gisele's MLM Enterprises, Gisele's show was one of the brightest of the many musical variety shows on the air at the time! As a tribute to Edie, who passed away today, October 16, 2008, here are Gisele and Edie doing a 'marriage medley' of "It's So Nice to Have A Man Around the House" and Gisele's popular single, "It's Delightful to Be Married." Gisele and Edie would re-team in 1963 on an ABC-TV special with Sid Caesar where they'd sing a medley of old timey vaudeville styled songs. Included in this clip are the openings and closings of Gisele's show and the Schick sponsor closing. Axel Stordahl conducted the show's orchestra.
Have had a crush on the lovely Gisele for fifty odd ( and I MEAN odd !) years !
Thanks for posting this priceless piece of our heritage .

How wonderful to see this! We got our first tv in 1954, a little tiny box and how we were glued to it! Jackie Gleason, Uncle Miltie, Howdy Doody. No need for a remote control in those days! Thanks for the memories!
