The Danny Kaye Show was an American old-time radio comedy-variety program that aired on the CBS radio network from January 6, 1945, to May 31, 1946. Starring legendary entertainer Danny Kaye, the show entertained children and adults alike with a mixture of comedy sketches and musical acts. The cast included well-known actors like Eve Arden, Lionel Stander, and Frank Nelson, with music directed by Harry James and others. The show had a tumultuous run, facing staffing and management issues, but it didn't impede Kaye's career in the long run. Kaye's wife, Sylvia Fine, had a strong influence on the show, helping to write and produce it. Although The Danny Kaye Show didn't take off as expected, it remains an interesting part of radio history that showcased the talents of the gifted performer and his talented cast.
