On Stage, Everybody

Last updated

On Stage, Everybody is a United States television variety show which was produced by ABC, but aired on DuMont Television Network station WABD. Broadcast in 1945, it appears to have been one of several early television series produced for WABD so that ABC production crews could get experience in television program production, as ABC did not yet have a TV station of its own. The emcee on the series was Danton Walker. Notably, the Hall Johnson Choir made a guest appearance in one of the episodes. [1] As methods to record live television did not exist until late 1947, none of the episodes still exist.
