#10704: TEX AND JINX SHOW: TEX MCCRARY AND JINX FALKENBURG
1955-12-12, WNBC, 47 min.
Tex McCrary, Mary Martin, Sid Caesar, Helen Hayes, Marilyn Monroe, Tennessee Williams, Jinx Falkenburg, Hal Wallis, Marlon Brando, Daniel Mann, Anna Magnani, James Wong Howe

 
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. 

NOTE::
The scores of TEX AND JINX SHOWS archived by Archival Television Audio, Inc. were originally obtained as original 16" Electronic Discs from Barry Farber, producer of the show (1957-1959), in 1960 after he had begun his own career in front of the mike at WINS Radio. These discs  were subsequently transferred to 1/4" reel to reel tape, and then disposed. These broadcasts are rare and represent  the largest known collection of TEX AND JINX extant broadcasts in the world. 

Tex and Jinx speak with Sid Caesar, Marlon Brando, Tennessee Williams, Hal Wallis, and Marilyn Monroe before the New York City premiere of the movie "The Rose Tattoo." Also interviewed by Jinx Falkenburg is director of "The Rose Tattoo," Daniel Mann. He speaks admirably working with Ann Magnani as does Marlon Brando who also praised James Wong Howe's cinematography. 
Brando and Marilyn Monroe have words for one another, as well as Sid Caesar who is in awe sitting next to Monroe. Marilyn talks about the Actor's Studio and there are some very funny moments recorded of Brando asking Monroe to do an improvisation.
Tex McCrary interviews Helen Hayes. 
A gem of a broadcast archived originally by Archival Television Audio, Inc. complete, transferred from an original Electronic Recording.

Jackie Gleason, Sid Caesar, Shelley Berman, Mel Torme, Peter Nero, Teresa Brewer

September 29, 1962-September 12, 1970. Jackie Gleason was a fixture on CBS for most of two decades. In the fall of 1962 Gleason was back to a Saturday slot, which he occupied for another eight seasons. From 1962 to 1966 it was called "Jackie Gleason and His American Scene Magazine," and featured topical comedy sketches as well as musical numbers. One of Gleason's characters, Joe the Bartender, appeared regularly. Addressing the camera as his patron, Joe told a few jokes before calling out the tipsy Crazy Guggenheim from the back room. Guggenheim, played by Frank Fontaine, traded quips with Joe and then sang a song. Sue Ann Langdon was also featured regularly. In 1966 Gleason moved the operation to Miami Beach. The show was retitled "The Jackie Gleason Show." For the first time in almost a decade, production of "The Honeymooners" was resumed. Gleason was reunited with Art Carney; Sheila MacRae and Jane Kean were added to play Alice and Trixie. Many of these later "Honeymooners" sketches ran a full hour, and the accent was now on music.

#9634: TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JOHNNY CARSON, THE
1968-05-20, WNBC, 90 min.
Bob Hope, Sid Caesar, Johnny Carson, Imogene Coca, Scott Carpenter

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. 

Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.

Johnny's guests are Sid Caesar, Bob Hope, Imogene Coca, and astronaut Scott Carpenter. Sid Caesar remarks on challenges working in the round, last nights Emmy Award broadcast which he criticizes, the American public selling themselves short at this time reflecting more on criticism and less related to pride in the USA, wanting to do a comic routine on hippies, his observations, since a youngster, observing peoples behavior mannerisms and dialects which he demonstrates to Johnny and audience. Caesar mentions that off stage he is by nature shy and quiet, and reads a lot. Sid Caesar, Bob Hope, Imogene Coca and Ed McMahon recreate a 1939 Radio script with hilarious results. NOTE: It is interesting that on this broadcast both Sid Caesar and Bob Hope are angry at what is happening in America related to the attitude of young people who have become disrespectful and belligerent. Also, noteworthy, is that this broadcasts aired just 6 weeks after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King and just two weeks before the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

#6972: JACKIE GLEASON SHOW, THE
1968-10-19, CBS, 54 min.
Jackie Gleason, Sid Caesar, Bob Newhart, Mike Douglas, Imogene Coca

  September 29, 1962-September 12, 1970. Jackie Gleason was a fixture on CBS for most of two decades. In the fall of 1962 Gleason was back to a Saturday slot, which he occupied for another eight seasons.

Gleason was reunited with Art Carney; Sheila MacRae and Jane Kean were added to play Alice and Trixie. Initially, short Honeymooner skits were performed (approximately 15 minutes).  Later, "Honeymooners" sketches ran a full hour, and the accent was now on music.
