The opening "Best of the Joe Franklin Show" notice was V/O'd by Phil Tonken, who'd been with Channel 9 at the point Joe joined the station in 1962, up to Phil's 1989 retirement.
I never met my grandad, but I'm still extremely fond of him, my uncle said he spoke just like Bing Crosby, so thank's for uploading this, i keep coming back and listening to his voice, trying to put it with my grandads face. I know it sound's crazy.. but.. :)
It's too bad that The other tv interviews that Joe did with many other performers and personalities on his shows over the years are not available for us to see.
Love Bing Crosby!

He is very lucid, well informed with an excellent memory. He responds immediately to the questions. A very impressive interview. Any idea what year?

Bing singing a few bars of the songs on the album that he is holding is just wonderful. What a treasure. Thanks for posting this.

What a great interview. I'd like to see more.
Nothing on TV today measures up to Joe Franklin. A class act.

I love hearing him talk - he is so melodic, even in his speaking voice!

Notice how articulate Bing was, no hemming and hawing... amazing. Thank you so much for posting this!
