April 29th, 1953-February 22nd, 1957 (NBC).
Coke Time was a fifteen-minute musical series seen on Wednesday and Friday evenings, before NBC news and hosted by singer Eddie Fisher. Singer Jaye P. Morgan would make frequent appearances on the show. It was sponsored by Coca-Cola.
In this episode, Eddie Fisher sings "Love Me Tender."
You think this is a show just for teenagers? Just because the singing guests are Paul Anka, Annette Funicello, Frankie Avalon, Anita Bryant and Bobby Darin? And Edward Byrnes and Bob Denver (Dobie's friend Maynard) are around for the sketches?
Straighten out, viewer. The producers claim this is a full-blown variety show, with songs of every description. Pat Boone is host, the 60 minutes are taped and exactly one medley will be devoted to sampling these youngsters record hits.
Rest of the show divides up into four parts of the "Young World."
