"The Ed Wynn Show" (1950) with The Three Stooges


1950 episode of CBS Network's 'The Ed Wynn show' with original Camel commercials. Ed's guests are Helen Forrest, The Three Stooges and William Frawley.

This entry was broadcast live March 11, 1950 on the west coast. The Ed Wynn show was the first network series to be aired live on the west coast and have the kinescopes shipped east, where they would air a couple of weeks later. The kinescope of this shown was seen on the east coast March 25, 1950.

Ratings were not great, but the show won two Emmy Awards and introduced Dinah Shore and Lucy and Dezi to TV.
