The end of an era. This was Fred Allen's last public appearance. He died of a heart attack the following Saturday. The thumbnail pic of Emmett Kelly for this video couldn't be more perfectly appropriate.

Please note that the primary mystery guest segment, which featured Dinah Shore, is missing from this copy; it appears to have been lost forever, but no solid explanation is available.

MYSTERY GUEST: Emmett Kelly; Dinah Shore [missing]
PANEL: Arlene Francis, Fred Allen, Dorothy Kilgallen, Bennett Cerf
