An episode of the short-lived early TV comedy "The Ed Wynn Show". Like many early variety shows, this program has elements of both Vaudeville & Radio. Guests in this episode include Gloria Swanson. Picture quality is sloppy due to bad source material.

It took over 40 minutes, and finally, my item has been updated. Along those same lines, I'll review this item I uploaded.
Reasonably decent early TV telecast, certainly not as good as "Texaco Star Theatre" or "The Ed Sullivan Show", but still decent. Gloria appears and is introduced in a comedic manner. Two singers appear and well, sing. The worst commercial of 1950 appears afterwards. This is followed by a sketch with Ed and Gloria playing puppets, it isn't extremnely funny by any means but does bring up how a lot of TV-comedy at this point was very much stage-play based. Final few seconds of telecast are cut off for legal reasons (which I'd rather not go into).
