"Holiday
in New York"
Guests: Kaye Ballard, Jackie Cooper, Jules Munshin, Elise Rhodes,
David Daniels, Bart Mayo, Al Goodman and his Orchestra
Note: Variety was disappointed with this effort. "If
Sunday's premier entry is to be accepted as a criterion for the
summer run," it wrote, "then perhaps Colgate should have
put Comedy Hour on ice pending the new fall season."
The episode originated from New York. |

"Let's
Go Places"
Guests: Bobby Van, Mary McCarty, Paul Lynde, Barbara Ruick, Paul
Gilbert, Vic Schoen and his Orchestra
Note: According to Variety, the show would "have to
get a lot better on the material, talent deployment and production
before it can hope to win rising mercury viewers." It did,
however, single out Bobby Van and Paul Lynde as burgeoning talents.
This episode originated from Hollywood. |
