The Big Show! 90 minutes with the most intimidating personalities in the entertainment world. What do you do Sunday at every Sunday at the same time? As the Sunday feature of the Five Show Festival, NBC's star-studded Five Night-A-Wee program ex-Pathaganta.

Tonight, Big Show is presenting such stop-by-tars as Fred Allen, Indy Carson, Jimmy Durady, Jose Pereira, Horton Hopper, Franky Lane, Ethel Merman, Paul Lucas, Russell Knight, Danny Thomas and Meredith Wilson. And here is your hostess, the glamorous, unpredictable, Toulula Bankhead.

This is Radio 1950, the greatest stars of our time on one big program. And the most fabulous part about this darling is that every Sunday we will present other stars of the same magnitude. Pardon me if I sound like a name-dropper, but just listen to three or four of the names he blind up for next week's show.

Rauptomarps, Annie Bryce, Jane Powell and Esjo Pinsa. Well, I don't just sit there with your mouths open darling. I know what you're thinking. You think such a radio show every week is impossible. And I'm sure that off you hear our first broadcast, you're going to say that show was impossible.

Oh no, that doesn't sound quite right, I guess. But NBC says nothing is impossible. All it takes is courage, vision, and the king-sized bundle of gold. Each week, there will be comedy, drama, music, all performed by the biggest stars we can find.
