This program never aired because President Franklin Roosevelt gave one of his speeches to the nation via the radio networks. Eddie still did the show because a lot of people had tickets and had traveled to be in the audience. They had rehearsed the show with a "test audience" in the early afternoon. Cantor did that to see what jokes and routines were popular... dry run. He altered anything that didn't go over well with the "test audience" before the broadcast one came in. Dinah Shore (discovered by Eddie Cantor) does several songs, Mr. Guffy does a comedy skit with Eddie. The Bobby Sherwood Orchestra plays some very upbeat versions of "Blueberry Hill" and "Stardust" Eddie does a couple of comedy routines and takes questions from the audience. The show finished with Eddie singing a few old vaudeville songs that were requested by some people in the audience. "Backstory"... Eddie Cantor made $20,000 a show at the height of his career.
