The Jack Carson Show (comedy variety)

     [Comedian Jack Carson had been the host of two popular
      early variety series -- "The Colgate Comedy Hour" and
     "All-Star Revue"; Wanting to headline his own series, 
      NBC gave him a tryout in this summer-replacement series
      for the "Red Buttons Show"; But whether it was bad 
      scheduling or bad luck, the audience didn't seem to 
      care, so it didn't lead to any permanent opportunity]
