The Best of the Colgate Comedy Hour 6 pk

Product Description Those who lived to see The Colgate Comedy Hour from 1950 through 1955 say that nothing, even today, comes close to this widely popular weekly TV variety show. It was a moment in television history never to be repeated, with hilarious monologues, new comic sketches, and elaborate musical production numbers that were over the top. Along with a roster of comedic giants, such as Fred Allen, Eddie Cantor, Abbot & Costello, and Jimmy Durante, Dean and Jerry brought new material that made their guests even more spontaneous and hilarious. Those TV days are gone, but this hysterical video collection is still with us to enjoy forever. No fan of comedy can afford to be without this classic-comedy, routine-breaking variety show. About the Actor Martin and Lewis were an American comedy duo, comprising singer Dean Martin and comedian Jerry Lewis. They met in 1945 and debuted at Atlantic Citys 500 Club on July 25, 1946; the team lasted ten years to the day. Dean Martin is the stage name of Dino Paul Crocetti, born June 7, 1917 in Steubenville, Ohio, while Jerry Lewis is the stage name of Joseph Levitch, born March 16, 1926 in Newark, New Jersey. Before they teamed up, Martin was a nightclub singer, while Lewis did a comedy act lip-synching to records. They performed in nightclubs, and, starting in 1949, on radio. Later they branched out into television and films. In their early radio days they performed as Martin and Lewis but later became hugely popular as Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. These full names helped them launch successful solo careers after parting.
