Shell Chateau was a musical variety series that showcased a range of talents and featured diverse acts. The host of the show changed several times during its run, with entertainers such as Al Jolson, Wallace Beery, and Smith Ballew taking on the role. The program began with an opening song, followed by a comedy routine, a guest performer, more music, and then ended with a dramatic sketch. Film stars would occasionally perform scenes from their movies to promote them, while the show broadcast from Los Angeles, giving it an air of glamour and exoticism.

The show aired from 1935 to 1937 on the NBC network, and while specific episode numbers are not provided, it had a consistent weekly schedule during its run. Several famous individuals, such as Judy Garland, Wallace Beery, and Babe Ruth, made guest appearances on the program. Legendary entertainer Al Jolson was known for his success in various mediums, including movies and radio shows, but his time on Shell Chateau marked a peak in his career. The show's popularity declined after Jolson departed in March 1936, but continued until June 1937 with a rotating cast of hosts.
