The Colgate Comedy Hour

Eddie Cantor (4x3)


Air date: Oct 18, 1953

This episode is centered around the impending opening of The Eddie Cantor Story. The show includes a tribute to comedian Willie Shore, who was to have appeared but was killed in a car accident on October 17. This was sort of a makeup for Jack Benny, who missed the June 7th episode due to illness. Both TV Guide and The New York Times list Eddie Fisher as a guest, but neither Variety nor UCLA (which has the actual kinescope) mention him.
