Jimmy Durante debuts as a Comedy Hour host. He and guest John Wayne do a takeoff on Northwest Mountie thrillers.

This episode is centered around the impending opening of The Eddie Cantor Story. The show includes a tribute to comedian Willie Shore, who was to have appeared but was killed in a car accident on October 17. This was sort of a makeup for Jack Benny, who missed the June 7th episode due to illness. Both TV Guide and The New York Times list Eddie Fisher as a guest, but neither Variety nor UCLA (which has the actual kinescope) mention him.

Highlights include a take-off on TV westerns where all the characters speak in voice-overs and a salute to the songs of Harold Arlen.

On this special episode of The Colgate Comedy Hour, we join Frank Sinatra, Behr Lahr and Sheree North as they head this all star musical hour. On a ocean liner, a singer attempts to help an American win over the heart of an English Heiress who is returning home to marry a man she doesn't love.
