From 1951 until 1957 Dinah Shore hosted a fifteen- minute musical show which was seen only once or twice a week before the NBC evening news. During the 1956-1957 TV Season, in addition to her 15-minute show, Dinah starred in a number of specials that were sponsored by Chevrolet broadcast on Sunday evenings.
The second series of television Specials was telecast as a one-hour variety show on Sunday Evenings, from 1957-1962.
Dinah's guests are Pat Boone, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Art Carney, and Carl Reiner.
In an 1890's restaurant scene, Dinah is on a swing, Art Carney is a singing waiter, Zsa Zsa Gabor has a splashy song number with top-rated chorus boys, Carl Reiner bets Dinah anyone can sing and
pulls a cab driver out of his cab to prove it, and into the studio. The boys do a take-off on the Kingston Trio.
