- These shows are a real treat for Fred Allen fans, since they may never be shown on TV again due to the prominence of the cigarette sponsor, Old Gold. As far as I'm concerned, any Fred Allen video is a precious Fred Allen video, since there's so very little outside of What's My Line. But at least this handful of his shows was rerun once, so you can. . . Judge for Yourself!

Fred Allen was so funny, he was always one of my favorites on any show.
Fred was just so funny. Such a quick mind.
thank you
The Woodside Sisters! Fun trio 🙂
Can you imagine contestants being given a carton of cigarettes for just being on a game show this day and age? Lol.
There would be so much backlash but in the 50's smoking was glorified as you can see here. Amazing how much has changed the last 70 years.
I enjoyed the Woodside Sisters
One of those sisters looked like Jane Wyatt!
That guy wanted those cigarettes bad lol. Look how he holds onto them.
At current prices, I would too!
18:09 Forgive me if it should be obvious, but I have no idea what Fred is referencing when he says HST was having trouble with white. Anyone?
Truman had given an angry speech defending his conduct in regards his handling the matter of a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in his administration, Harry Dexter White, who it turned out was part of a Soviet espionage ring (White died in 1948 after the accusations first surfaced. They have since been confirmed). Eisenhower's Attorney General, Herbert Brownell had earlier blasted Truman for hiring White when there were already warnings and rumors about White being part of an espionage ring.
epaddon Thank you!!!
HST -- Harry S Truman. President of the United States 1945-1953.
Act No.1 - great voice but his clothes do not compliment the song. Was there no wardrobe dept?
Miss Marks gets top marks from me - classy lady!
