This date in radio & television
March 25th: Two decades before Ed Wynn was a winner as a radio showman and subsequently a hit on television, he was the first entertainer on the vaudeville bill when New York City's Palace Theater opened for business on this date in 1913.
This was the date in 1943 that Garry Moore and Jimmy "Schnoze" Durante, began a four-year run on NBC Radio, in place of the Abbott and Costello Show, which was derailed by Lou Costello's heart attack. This was, in fact, Jimmy and Garry's radio premiere and both of them went on to TV careers. Bud & Lou also found the video medium and continued making movies after Costello's recovery.
