Clip from the 50's TV series "Cavalcade of Stars" featuring a parody of Arthur Godfrey called "Arthur Clodfrey Time". Features parodies of early commercials and plugs, and the unpredictable nature of live TV.
Certainly historically important, But you really have to know about early commercials to find this funny, Otherwise you will be confused.

Yes that is Jerry Lester on Calvacade of Stars a year or so before he got to Broadway Open House. Why are we discussing him? Where's Dagmar!

Nope, "Broadway Open House" was on another network.

This is Jerry Lester who, along with Dagmar, appeared on the Dumont Network's Broadway Open House.

Subject: Biting satire of Arthur Godfrey
They go to great lengths to skewer Arthur Godfrey here. And, I suppose, looking back, one could argue that he had it coming.
In this clip they satirize so many aspects of his TV persona, and they list them at the beginning.
The clip seems to run out before the actual sketch is over, but by then you get the general idea.
This appears to be rather a low budget production, which was probably the norm back then.
