Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Milton Berle and Harpo Marx on the Kraft Music Hall

The original Kraft Music Hall was a radio series that aired from 1933 to 1949. It was one of the most popular programs of its type, particularly during the period (1936–1946) when it was hosted by Bing Crosby, then by Al Jolson (1947-1949).

By 1958, Kraft was prepared to revive the Music Hall for television. The first host was "Mr. Television", Milton Berle, who had become television's first superstar by hosting an earlier NBC program, the Texaco Star Theater. 

Let's go back 60 years to the night in 1959 when Harpo Marx was Berle's guest on the show.

Enjoy!
