 | 1957 The Edsel Show DVD TV Bing Crosby Frank Sinatra
One Hour of Footage on a New DVD
The Edsel Show was an hour-long television special broadcast live on CBS in the United States on October 13, 1957, intended to promote Ford Motor Company's new Edsel cars. It was a milestone in Bing Crosby's career, and was notable as the first full-length television program to use the new technology of videotape. The Edsel Show starred Bing Crosby and featured Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, Louis Armstrong, and Lindsay Crosby performing with the Four Preps. It also featured an appearance by a "mystery guest" who turned out to be Bob Hope. The show replaced the Ed Sullivan Show in CBS's Sunday lineup and was one of the year's most successful programs, although its popularity did not transfer to the Edsel cars. It has been credited as Bing Crosby's real television breakthrough, and set the pattern for his many television specials to come; in its wake he signed a lucrative contract with ABC under which he would produce two specials per year.
