I am so impressed at Jack Benny's appearance on the show. Mr. Welk looked good as the host for the airing on PBS. He was relaxed and personable. Thanks for posting this episode.

How fun that Jack Benny was on! So many notable songs...and nobody sings When You Wish Upon a Star like Norma did! And I love when they sing songs from some of my favorite musicals! (Thank You Very Much is from my all time favorite version of A Christmas Carol!) Thanks for this video!
