  • Summary

  • The Big Show, an American radio variety program featuring 90 minutes of comic, stage, screen and music talent, was aimed at keeping American radio in its classic era alive and well against the rapidly growing television tide. For a good portion of its two-year run (November 5, 1950 – April 20, 1952), the show's quality made its ambition seem plausible.

Amazing!

A fascinating and very entertaining example of the performing arts at a time when life and the culture were changing. This show had it all! Hard to believe they mounted this 90 min show every week!
