Welcome to this second podcast post, featuring Command Performance and their first episode starring and hosted by Eddie Cantor. This episode aired March 8, 1942.
Command Performance aired from 1942 to 1949, on the Armed Forces Radio Network (AFRS) and transmitted by shortwave to the troops overseas — with few exceptions, it was not broadcast over domestic U.S. radio stations.
The episode starts with Beatrice "Bea" Wain singing "Chattanooga Choo Choo." The program also features clips from the Joe Louis vs. Buddy Baer fight from January 9, 1941. Louis knocked out Baer in the first round and joined the U.S. Army the next day. Also starring: Danny Kaye, Dinah Shore, and actress Merle Oberon.
