• Description : The show had two venues. In Decembe...(more)r 1948 to March 1949, Morey Amsterdam was the emcee at a small fictional nightclub in New York City's Times Square. Charlie the Doorman (later Newton the Waiter) and Lola the cigarette girl were also employed at the club. Between April 1949 and October 1950, the show shifted to a different network and the scene shifted to the Silver Swan Cafe with Newton and Lola still employed. The show starts off with Morey Amsterdam singing a cute comedy song, which references several movie stars from back then. Art Carney appears in two sketches, First a sketch about what was on TV back then, along with a parody of ballet. Also featured in this episode is a cute female singer singing a forgotten but then-popular song called "You Happy People". Also their is a dance act doing a funny but dated comedy sketch. It's a funny show, And a curious mix of "Sitcom" and "Variety Show". Morey Amsterdam later played one of the main charactors in "The Dick Van Dyke Show", while Art Carney later co-starred in "The HoneyMooners".
