No, he was on The Hollywood Palace again in 1967, hosted by Donald O'Connor. That show, or the relevant clip, is on RUclips as well--and it's in color.
For those who were concerned by a Black person portraying Ted’s shadow - here’s a clip from an old episode of “This Is Your Life” with Ted performing with Eddie Chester his original “shadow” from 1927. - Eddie was is a short white person who greatly resembled Ted Lewis.. ruclips.net/video/vZlzXmFr8YQ/видео.html So the original intent of this song had nothing to do with anything racist. ..Rowby.
Man, that is beautiful. Yup, everybody is happy, Ted.
Thanks for shearing!
It' s like Pina Baush style!
Such a gift. Thank you.
Touching to hear him mention Cantor, who passed on that year.
He was very close friends with Eddie and Ida.
Yea I remember the comment about his 5th shadow. He wore out the last 4.
I think this may be Ted's last tv appearance before he became ill and passed.

The song "Me and My Shadow" was composed in 1927.
Ted Leiws was 74 when he performed here in 1964.
HAROLD STUMPY CROMER is the SHADOW!
Yes he is!
Why didn't he get a new hat? The one he was wearing is embarrassing.
That's part of the act. The hat was always old and worn,
Ted never sang. Ted couldn’t sing. Ted spoke songs. The first song here he just bluffs his way through.
