    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Like 'The Colgate Comedy Hour', 'Texaco Star Theater' was pre-empted every fourth week by a special (called a "spectacular" in those days). Donald O'Connor's episodes were mostly, if not all, filmed, while Jimmy Durante's were a combination of live and on film. The two stars alternated throughout the 1954-55 season, but in the fall of 1955, O'Connor left, and Durante took over the time slot, lasting one more season. In the summer of 1957, selected episodes of Durante's show were rerun on CBS, sponsored by 'Old Gold' cigarettes.
