Haskell and Norton worked with Garroway on his first series, "Garroway At Large." A COMPLETE 30 MINUTE TV AUDIO AIR CHECK. Ethel Waters who was scheduled to appear on this final show cancelled and so the final broadcast in the 39 episode series of "THE DAVE GARROWAY SHOW" profiled each of their regular cast members, who are introduced by Dave Garroway. They each sing their favorite song performed during the show's previous telecasts (October 2, 1953 - June 18, 1954).

Garroway comedy segment reflecting on Lazy Readers, A Bubble Retriever, and a Plate Saver. Dave bids all farewell on this the final episode of the 39 episode series (October 2, 1953 - June 25, 1954). Announcer Ed Brenner reads off the entire cast of behind the scenes personnel making this series possible, including Mahlon Fox Audio Engineer who recorded this program for himself and years later it was transacted to Phil Gries and added to the ATA archive. NBC CHIMES ARE HEARD. With the exception of two broadcasts (June 18 and 25 (final show) all of the Dave Garroway show air checks in the Archival Television Audio, Inc. archive are not complete shows. They contain just the songs the performers (Regulars) and guest stars performed. These edited down airchecks run approximately 15 minutes and are mostly comprised of SONGS. There are exceptions such as when Art Carney visited hearing interchanges with him and Dave Garroway. and other examples. Those interested in acquiring information as to the tile of the songs (when known) for a specific show and when not detailed, and who sang these songs would have to be monitored again. Available upon request for a research fee. NOTE: The Dave Garroway show auditioned for female singers and there was a premium on time and studio space. There was no piano and Skitch Henderson, the music director, had to accompany the young hopefuls on a celeste, an instrument which despite its similarity to a piano is very difficult to sing with. Jill was very nervous during the hustle and bustle of all this, but Garroway reassured her and she won the audition. She later became the top female singer on the "Dave Garroway Show." MANY of the listed Dave Garroway Shows archived in the collection of ATA do not exist in any other known museum, private collection or at NBC. NONE OF THE ENTIRE ATA INVENTORY OF DAVE GARROWAY SHOWS EXIST AS ORIGINAL AUDIO TAPE AIRED RECORDINGS ELSEWHERE. There does exist 10 Dave Garroway Show kinescopes that are archived at two museums, Paley Center for Media, and at UCLA Film & TV Museum. It must be noted that kinescope optical sound tracks are "noisy" and much inferior to these mastered 1/4" reel to reel audio tapes which were recorded off the air direct line at 15IPS. Paley Center for Media archive: 1-April 4, 1954 - Guest- Herb Shriner 2-April 16, 1954 -Guest - Marguerite Piazza. 3-April 28, 1954 -Guest - Eddie Howard 4-May 7, 1954 -Guest- Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney 5-June 11, 1954 - Guest - Janet Blair UCLA archive: 1-March 5, 1954 - Guest - Lisa Kirk & Skitch Henderson orchestra 2-March 12, 1954 - Guest - Morton Downey 3-March 19, 1954 - Guest - Ames Brothers 4-March 26, 1954 - Guest - Patrice Munsel 5- (At one time listed by UCLA but not currently) June 25, 1954 -Ensemble cast again introduced with personal thoughts by Dave Garroway. Each sing their favorite song performed during this series run (Oct. 2, 1953-June 25, 1954). NOTE: The master 1`/4" audio tapes containing "The Dave Garroway Show" have skimpy liner notes related to contents. In some cases Phil Gries has MONITORED some of these air checks for additional information. Also, note, that these recordings were made in studio (15ips), by Mahlon Fox Audio Engineer of this series creating a personal audio copy for himself (later acquired many years ago by Phil Gries). These broadcasts aired over 70 years ago and the tapes are very fragile. However, they play back pristinely and the sound when originally recorded and recently monitored by Gries display, currently, extroniary audio quality. In total there are over 100 songs archived (The Dave Garroway Show) in the Archival Television Audio, Inc. library, preserving half of the songs performed during the 39 weeks of broadcasts.
