1954 WELCH'S GRAPE JELLY COMMERCIAL - HOWDY DOODY

  • 8 years ago
Here's a commercial for Welch's grape jelly and preserves from HOWDY DOODY -- with Bison Bill (Ted Brown) subbing for Buffalo Bob.

Brown and popular western star, George "Gabby" Hayes substituted as hosts on HOWDY DOODY during its 1954-55 season while "Buffalo Bob" Smith recuperated from a heart attack?? As Smith's health improved, NBC built a small studio in Smith's from which he was featured by remote telecast until he could rejoin the show.
