TEX AND JINX Radio & Television BROADCAST HISTORY: April 22, 1946- February 27, 1959. WEAF (WNBC, WRCA), New York weekdays at 8:30 A.M. until 1954; at 1:00pm,1954-1955; then at 6:30 and 10:35pm until July 31, 1958, moving briefly to WOR, broadcasting at 2:15pm. In addition to the Kollmars (Dorothy Kilgallen and husband Richard Kollmar) and the Fitzgeralds (Pegeen and husband Ed Fitzgerald), another well-recognized New York couple, newlyweds Tex McCrary and Jinx Falkenburg, added their own bread-and-bacon banter to the local airwaves between 1946 and 1959. Their gabfest, initially Hi Jinx but later revised to Tex and Jinx, was beamed over WEAF which was subsequently re-lettered WNBC and later WRCA. In limited doses, the flagship outlet of the National Broadcasting Company transmitted Meet Tex and Jinx to the whole country during 1947 and 1948. Tex and Jinx devoted most of their airtime to lofty and noble concepts, visitors and sidebars. Tex and Jinx [on WEAF-WNBC-WRCA] were interviewing Bernard Baruch, Margaret Truman, or Ethel Waters…. McCrary built the show on the assumption that the early morning audience was not stupid, as programmers generally assumed; that people in general had fresher minds and were more open to serious topics at the beginning of the day.” Their joint radio venture began in April 1946 just 10 months following their nuptials (June 10, 1945). Launched as a breakfast feature, the series later shifted to afternoons and finally into the evening hours before departing the ether a dozen years afterward. They were branded by one journalist “Mr. Brains and Mrs. Beauty.” In early 1947 NBC put them on its television network as a portion of a Sunday evening quarter-hour dubbed Bristol-Myers Tele-Varieties. “The McCrarys were naturals for TV,” wrote a reviewer, “with their combination of friendly chatter, interviews, and features.” That summer the web awarded them an exclusive Sunday night half-hour format under the appellation At Home with Tex and Jinx. A decade later, in the 1957-58 season, the duo hosted a daytime NBC-TV showcase, The Tex and Jinx Show. When hepatitis sidetracked Falkenburg in 1958 from their broadcast commitments, McCrary carried on solo on their radio show for another couple of years. In the 1980s, however, the couple separated, remaining on genial terms. McCrary died in New York on July 29, 2003 and Falkenburg expired just 29 days later in the same city, on August 27, 2003.

He mentions his great relationship and love for co-star Karl Malden on the series "Streets of San Francisco." Richard, who first learned to play piano at eight years of age plays piano. In a separate video taped 32 minute segment Mike Douglas interviews Betty Hutton who just has filmed a Beretta TV episode with Robert Blake. Betty discusses a myriad of subjects including: Mother, an early bootlegger and alcoholic herself...Betty singing at three years of age, with her mother playing guitar...marriage four times and never loved by any of her husbands...at 14 meeting Bernard Baruch, and dropping out of school to go into showbusiness...at one point in her life wanting to become a nun but unable to find the passion...love of church and finding God...writing a book called "Backstage You Can Have." Betty also remember her years with Vincent Lopez and a career that in the whole made her miserable and depressed. Playing Vegas...replacing Judy Garland on sage and making $100,000 a night and replacing Garland reshooting the movie "Annie Oakley." Biggest satisfaction in her career playing for the troops in Korea. Past 10 years very lonely...has found God after shock of having former husband Pete Candoli leave her, at such time thought of committing suicided. Betty Hutton tells Mike Douglas that she and most other entertainers have a inside fear prior to performing. Interestingly she remembers seeing Al Jolson on stage for his last time and he told her the same emotion he has always had as well. Betty confirms that at one time she had almost 10 million dollars and after it was all gone her children moved in with their father...a future estranged relationship, and she subsequently has never met her four grandchildren. Betty confides she was a "bastard child" and finally one day tracked down her biological father. She had a lot of money stolen from her and remembers her mother not trusting banks and use to keep cash savings under the bed mattress. Betty reveals why she failed as a wife and mother...the pitfalls being a star played on who the real Betty Hutton. She sings "It Had to be You." Continuing her interview with Mike Douglas Betty Hutton reflects on memories working on "Panama Hattie" with Ethel Merman and devastated when Merman removed the only song in the show sung by Hutton. More discussion about the days when the great directors and writers ruled the motion picture industry collaborating with talent and all working together in a very creative way. Such approach has long gone with corporations taking over. Betty reflects her TV Series "The Betty Hutton Show" playing Goldie and how the 37 episodes have vanished...locked away by Lucille Ball who purchased the show (a failure) years ago. Betty states her life story on stage or in film should be done by Bernadette Peters. Ending this extraordinary segment interview between Betty Hutton and Mike Douglas they both sing a duet, "Ragtime Cowboy Joe."
