Al Jolson & Groucho Marx on Kraft Music Hall May 26, 1949 - video podcast

Posted by the International Al Jolson Society, www.jolson.org, this is an excerpt of the 26 May 1949 Kraft Music Hall, starring Al Jolson with Groucho Marx, illustrated with images of the stars to get a feeling for the broadcast. This was Al Jolson's final broadcast as host of the Kraft Music Hall, and it happened to be his birthday as well. He sang the great Cole Porter song, "Why Can't You Behave?" from Kiss Me Kate. With Groucho he engaged in the usual comedy banter, which includes what may be the longest set up for a joke in radio history. The complete broadcast, along with other Jolson radio shows, is available at the Official Al Jolson Website at www.jolson.org, from its posting in May through the end of June.
