Dinah Shore also headlined a monthly "CHEVY SHOW" in the 1956-'57 season, as well as her Thursday night 15 minute musical interlude at 7:30pm(et) [just before "THE HUNTLEY-BRINKLEY REPORT"]. Her "CHEVY SHOW" became a weekly Sunday night series in the fall. 'CROSSROADS" (1955-'57), a weekly filmed anthology series featuring stories about clergymen, appeared Friday nights at 8:30pm(et) on ABC {"another network"}.
Ginger Rogers recalled her participation in this tour in her 1991 autobiography, "Ginger- My Story". She thoroughly enjoyed it, and mentioned an embarrassing incident in a sketch where she was to break a prop bottle over the head of a fellow actor- it froze, and she nearly knocked him out!
From 1955 through '57, Bob headlined a live monthly "CHEVY SHOW" on NBC- at first, on Tuesdays at 8pm(et), alternating with "THE MILTON BERLE SHOW" and the monthly "MARTHA RAYE SHOW", then appearing on random nights during the 1956-'57 season [this one was originally seen on a Friday, pre-empting "THE JOSEPH COTTEN SHOW" and "THE BIG STORY" at 9pm(et)]. However, this edition was produced on film, as virtually all of Hope's "military tours" were until he switched to videotape in the early '70s.
