The Bing Crosby - Rosemary Clooney Show

February 29, 1960 – September 28, 1962 · 222 broadcasts

A daily 20-minute music-and-chat strip that paired two generations of American pop, The Bing Crosby-Rosemary Clooney Show ran on CBS from leap day, February 29, 1960, through September 28, 1962. Aimed at late-morning listeners just before noon, it set the easy, banked banter of crooner Bing Crosby and the warm voice of Rosemary Clooney against a deep library of pre-recorded songs -- usually a solo apiece plus a frequent duet, all built with Buddy Cole and his Trio. The informality was a beautiful illusion. Produced by Murdo MacKenzie, written by Bill Morrow, and announced by longtime Crosby man Ken Carpenter, the show was taped weeks ahead -- the two stars meeting in "some pleasant environment" to bang out several weeks of episodes at once, scripts and ad-libs intermixed. The New York Times called it "an almost foolproof system of parlaying work into fun and fun into money," with Rosemary rattling off the rotating sponsors' spots while Bing grinned smugly beside her. It was a graceful last chapter. One of CBS's attempts to keep the "good old days" of radio alive as television took over, the series closed out Bing Crosby's 31-year association with the medium -- a fitting send-off for one of the first global multimedia stars, sharing the microphone with a top vocalist of the next generation.

The Story

A daily 20-minute music-and-chat strip that paired two generations of American pop, The Bing Crosby-Rosemary Clooney Show ran on CBS from leap day, February 29, 1960, through September 28, 1962. Aimed at late-morning listeners just before noon, it set the easy, banked banter of crooner Bing Crosby and the warm voice of Rosemary Clooney against a deep library of pre-recorded songs -- usually a solo apiece plus a frequent duet, all built with Buddy Cole and his Trio. The informality was a beautiful illusion. Produced by Murdo MacKenzie, written by Bill Morrow, and announced by longtime Crosby man Ken Carpenter, the show was taped weeks ahead -- the two stars meeting in "some pleasant environment" to bang out several weeks of episodes at once, scripts and ad-libs intermixed. The New York Times called it "an almost foolproof system of parlaying work into fun and fun into money," with Rosemary rattling off the rotating sponsors' spots while Bing grinned smugly beside her. It was a graceful last chapter. One of CBS's attempts to keep the "good old days" of radio alive as television took over, the series closed out Bing Crosby's 31-year association with the medium -- a fitting send-off for one of the first global multimedia stars, sharing the microphone with a top vocalist of the next generation.
