("Saturday Night Revue" is the umbrella title for a two-and-a-half hour program, consisting of two segments, that aired weekly from February 1950 to June 1951. Originating from Chicago, the first segment, "The Jack Carter Show" was a vaudeville-inspired program that aired from 8 to 9 p.m. The second half, "Your Show of Shows," broadcast live from New York from 9 to 10:30 p.m., was a successor to Max Liebman's successful "Admiral Broadway Revue" and featured Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca and a stable of regulars.)
