The Danny Kaye Show was a variety show that featured one of America’s most beloved comedian David Daniel Kaminsky, aka Danny Kaye. Known to be a fast talker, Kaye very much amazed his listeners by doing such acts as reciting the name of 50 Russian composers in exactly 30 seconds, or performing a play where every character was played by him. Of course, he did not forget to include others in his skits and jokes. Some of his co-stars included Butterfly McQueen and Eve Arden among others, as well as other famous stars like Gracie Allen, George Burns, Jimmy Durante, Judy Garland, Carmen Miranda, Orson Welles, and Frank Sinatra. The show was heard on-air from 1945-1946. Click here to read more about Danny Kaye Show, The
