Two hours of Comedy

First, a look at this date in history.

Then The Jimmy Durante Show, originally broadcast December 3, 1947, 76 years ago, with guest Charles Boyer. The whole cast does "Cyrano de Bergerac" with guess-who playing the long nosed Cyrano.

Followed by the Phil Harris and Alice Faye show, originally broadcast December 3, 1950, 73 years ago, What is “The Thing”? Remley the babysitter finds one baby too many! Alice sings, "If I Were A Bell." The Harris' "daughters" sing, "The Thing," Phil's big record hit, but with new lyrics.

Then The Chase and Sanborn Hour, originally broadcast December 3, 1939, 84 years ago with guest Maureen O’Hara. Charlie has started a Christmas shopping service. Guest Maureen O'Hara, John Archer and Charlotte Treadway appear in, "Rendezvous With Tomorrow," by Hilda Lawrence. Arthur Treacher appears as the perfect butler, who is now a "swingster." He sings, "A Tisket, A Tasket." Charlie and Maureen do a scene from, "Jamaica Inn...Long Island."

Followed by the Old Gold Comedy Theater hosted by Harold Lloyd, originally broadcast December 3, 1944, 79 years ago, Take a Letter Darling. Girl hires boy in the advertising business. She's beautiful and he's a hunk. She's a sharp businesswoman, he's an artist who hates the world of business.
