Your show of shows

the long version

"On Saturday evening, February 25, 1950, a live, 90-minute variety program called Your Show of Shows premiered On NBC-TV and instantly won acclaim from the critics and enthusiasm from the public. An inspired, witty, and sophisticated mixture of comedy, satire, and song and dance, the program starred two gifted, inimitable performers named Sid Caeser and Imogene Coca. In 1977, author Ted Sennett paid full tribute to this legendary program in his book Your Show of Shows.". "Now the book returns in an expanded edition that demonstrates, more than ever, why the show remains one of television's most glowing achievements."--BOOK JACKET.
