October 8, 1958 - May 20, 1959 Return to television by Milton Berle after an absence of two years. Milton Berle returns to television in a half-hour weekly series. He'll offer comedy, performances by guest stars and music by an orchestra under the direction of Billy May, sometime actor who will also do an occasional comedy turn with Berle. Uncle Miltie's guests on the opening show are the Dunhills, a trio of precision dancers made up of Walter Long, Art Stanley and Bob Roberts. When Berle performed in night clubs this past summer, the Dunhills were also on the bill, along with Bob Hope. Bob Hope trades quips during Milton's opening monologue referencing Bing Crosby. A feature of tonight's show will be Billy May conducting his own composition, a "60 -second symphony." Producing the series is Hal Kanter, creator-producer-writer of the first George Gobel TV show.

A prelude Special sampling of what Danny Kaye intends to present next season starring in a weekly variety series. Lucille Ball guests. It's only a two-star affair, so Lucy shows Danny what a pair of distinguished guests might add to the show. Danny Kaye, in the past a rare figure on home screens, is switching video strategy- he appeared earlier today on NBC's "Cultural Center" special and next season he's planning a weekly series. His guest for tonight's taped hour of comedy and song is Lucille Ball. In a sketch, Danny and Lucy investigate the art of dining out. In a Japanese restaurant, they find eating with chopsticks a problem; a French bistro offers an interesting treat-most of the dishes are prepared with brandy and the jungle "atmosphere" at a Polynesian spot makes it tough to locate a table. It's only a two-star affair, so Lucy shows Danny what a pair of distinguished guests might add to the show. She gives her impressions of Judy Garland singing "Swanee" and Marlene Dietrich doing "You're Just in Love." Danny adds a take-off on- and with- the Dunhills, tap dancing group. Walter Scharf conducts the orchestra. Duplicate of13878.
