Bill Kemp was an up and coming comic performer with a 1950s radio show heard on the ABC radio network. His daily radio show was expected to launch him into a television career, following a similar path to that of Merv Griffin. High powered guests such as Jonathan Winters, Ava Gardner, Will Jordan, and Robert Mitchum all made appearances on Kemp's show. Tragically, Kemp's television career never took off as he was plagued by a debilitating drinking problem. At times both Merv Griffin and Jim Backus, both of whom had radio shows on the ABC radio network at the time, would fill in for Kemp with "personal reasons" given for the absences. When the Bill Kemp radio show ended, he returned to his native Toronto, Canada home, his show business career ended. A sad ending to what could have been a very successful television career.
On this two-minute segment, there is mention of WOR-TV's "Million Dollar Movie" and the television debut of the 1933 movie release, "King Kong." In a comedic moment, actress Fay Wray is heard screaming during the movie.
