I love how the commercials are still in this. Makes you feel like you are watching TV back in the day. Thank you so much for these posts.

Right down to the "blank space" at 31:09 for "station identification", where local affiliates placed their own commercials, promos, and I.D.'s {"WABC-TV, New York"}.

Nat had style and class a real gentleman and let's not forget that fabulous voice a voice that surely missed. Thank for this video.

[@cynthialyman2636]

Nat King Cole was such a class act with that spine-tingling, one of a kind voice. So sad he died young.

[@sparkescadman]

Thank you for all of these programs, complete with commercials! I'm watching them in order, all I can....a feast that satisfies. Nat King Cole lives on here and we all have a great time!

[@KEMET1971]

Diahann Carroll ... PURE WONDERFUL!

[@jasonbeard4713]

Nat is my favorite singer!!! Great episode and choice of material.

[@cynthialyman2636]

I am officially overwhelmed by these marvelous shows. Though l have only a faint memory of these shows when they originally aired, l am ever so grateful to be enjoying them some fifty-plus years later. Thanks!

[@sabrinabrown107]

Great show! NKC is a class act that will never be forgotten! The home movies I enjoyed, a young Marilyn Monroe before she was star. Nice! DC never aged, she always looked the same through the years and carry herself like a Queen her entire career, even when she did a regular stint on Dynasty, she projected herself with class and dignity!

[@fromthesidelines]

Although this was originally telecast on March 21, 1964, this is the August 8, 1964 summer repeat (as Norwich Laboratories was selling "Unguentine" spray for sunburn relief at 16:58.....and Nestle was promoting "Instant Nestea" for iced tea at 51:43).

[@HCHxxiv]

Nat King Cole...one of a kind.

[@sabinebeyer9249]

That's wunderful to see some of the old shows and the different hosts. And to see one of my favorite singers is a special plesure. Thanks for this channel

[@robertwallerjr.]

Nat King Cole!!!! Awesome.

[@robertgift]

I remember the joy of hearing this program's upbeat theme song on Friday evenings because it meant no school for two days. I watched this even though it was not very entertaining to my 14-year old mind. Nice seeing the commercials. Will I remember any?

[@janiesippel225]

21:57- Yvonne Craig, who appeared in MANY commercials inbetween her movie and TV assignments at the time.

[@jazzwatch64]

Nat hosting this show???? Loving this ;)....

[@irwinashby56]

the late great Nat King Cole

[@efrem1]

Nat King Cole and this series were quality.

[@markboulanger1113]

Nat Cole--the epitome of a classy and kind gentleman

[@cynthialyman2636]

The pole guy has to be one of the bravest performers to ever live. Why...😨

[@RodrickColbert]

For context, the unforgettable Nat King Cole died February 15, 1965, and this monumental program aired March 21, 1964. He would have been a still youthful 44 years old.

[@brucescott4261]

Rodrick Colbert ...NAT "KING" COLE had just turned forty-five four days before this classic episode of The Hollywood Palace was aired nationally on television.

[@tomdegan6924]

It's a shame that Nat and Diahann couldn't sing a duet. A potential moment lost.

[@zacheryalderton9502]

Great man

[@theironclads]

Beautiful Yvonne Craig a.k.a. Batgirl on the Right Guard commercial.

[@MrYonexguy63]

All this ....AND "billboard girl" Raquel Welch brings out George Burns, the next weeks host!

[@theironclads]

R.I.P. Raquel Welsh.

[@MrGHunter77]

Wow, Nat King Cole was probably sick here and didn't even know it. He would be dead in less than 1 year of this shows air date.

[@hollywood5199]

passed in 1965

[@brucescott4261]

Oldmanriver77 ...The trouble began in September 1964 while NAT "KING" COLE was on the set during the filming of "Cat Ballou." He began losing weight.

[@timothyhughes1904]

55 years after this show aired, Carroll died of cancer.

[@brucescott4261]

Timothy Hughes ...Yes, cancer is such a dreadful disease.

[@100PurpleAvenue]

21:55 Yvonne Craig Alert! Yvonne Craig Alert!

[@tomservo56954]

Batgirl and Gillette were so successful in marketing Right Guard to everyone, Proctor and Gamble made a short-lived attempt to do the same with Secret, before deciding it was "made for a woman". Now Gillette is owned by P & G and Right Guard has been replaced by Gillette branded deodorants and antiperspirants, targeted to men.
