Fireball Fun For All (July 5, 1949, NBC)

John Sigvard "Ole" Olsen (November 6, 1892 – January 26, 1963) and Harold Ogden "Chic" Johnson (March 5, 1891 – February 26, 1962) were American comedians of vaudeville, radio, the Broadway stage, motion pictures and television. Their shows were noted for their crazy blackout gags and orchestrated mayhem ("anything can happen, and it probably will"). Their most famous concept, Hellzapoppin, has become show-business shorthand for freewheeling, anything-goes comedy; it enjoyed a lengthy run on Broadway and spawned a movie version.

This was the premiere episode of their short-lived attempt at television. They would eventually host some episodes of the All-Star Revue on NBC as well. This comes from a second generation VHS, but is of higher quality than my previous upload. Enjoy this weird, wacky slice of early TV.
