Mr Pulaski claims that Poodles Incorporated is at 51 W. 52nd Street, but of course that's the address of the CBS headquarters building. Is the whole segment a gag?
soulierinvestments Yeah, based on Orson's comments in his introduction, and on Fred's actual monologue at the start of this episode, it occurred to me that if Fred Allen were alive and in his prime today, I could see him hosting something like "The Daily Show."
balconi71 I'm glad to know that! I thought he was exceptionally talented in this clip, and I think I would have ranked him first had I been a contestant.
And Bobby Gregg had a 45RPM hit of his own, "The Jam", which features Roy Buchanan on lead guitar. Music Chart Peaks: Music Vendor #26, Billboard #29, Cash Box #34, R&B Chart Peak #14
It's absolutely pathetic that this country now allows continual advertising for hard liquor, freely promotes and approves of marijuana everywhere, but has laughably gone completely puritan and has a total hissy fit about tobacco based cigarettes. The only thing that the United States leads any other country in, is in its massive moronic hypocrisy.
I'm really getting into this show. Keep them coming! :-)
Thanks very much.
Thanks for posting! I'm enjoying the talent and Fred, but there's an awful lot of dull chitchat.
This was. . . not a good format for him. :)
Fred says "Thank you, Dennis" at 21:47 just after returning from a break. Was Dennis James doing ads for the program?
Very likely. I doubt he was referring to Dennis Day. . . ;)
Dennis James did "Old Gold" cigarettes on "Judge For Yourself."
Right hand too go man go❤❤❤
The drummer so fast I was seeing double the sticks in his left hand the video couldn’t record fast enough for him WTG Bobby Gregg❤❤❤
Good drumming is under appreciated, I had bouncing Bobby #1 and belting Billy #2.

No, it was a very famous place in its day in NYC.
Too bad Fred never got a topical talk show on television.

Did they ever find the dog?
Scott Klement We'll never know. . . :)
Bobby Gregg would go on to have quite the career. He played drums on Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" and Simon and Garfunkels "Sound of Silence".
balconi71 And he danced with Lawrence Welk, too. :-)

This looks like the same Elaine Dufeen who was Miss Philadelphia in 1954 and went on to have a minor singing career.
Oh I pity that drummer's poor mother.
Arthur Godfrey should have never had a programme in the first place.
