Starting in 1950, the Colgate Comedy Hour ran for six seasons until 1955, and featured a wide range of guest stars and musical acts.

As the titular hosts, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were a unique duo, each bringing their own distinct style and personality to the stage.

Together, they were the ultimate comedic duo, and their chemistry is evident in every episode of the Colgate Comedy Hour.

One of the standout features of the Colgate Comedy Hour is the musical performances. Martin was known for his smooth, crooning style, and he frequently performed classic standards like "That's Amore" and "Volare."

In addition to the music, the comedy on the Colgate Comedy Hour is top-notch. Martin and Lewis were masters of the one-liner, the pratfall, and the zany character, and their sketches and skits are hilarious to this day. From Lewis's famous "Nutty Professor" character to Martin's deadpan delivery, the comedy on the Colgate Comedy Hour is both timeless and unforgettable.

Aside from Martin and Lewis, the Colgate Comedy Hour also featured a wide range of guest stars, from Hollywood legends like Bing Crosby and Bob Hope to emerging talents like Tony Curtis and Debbie Reynolds. These guest stars often participated in musical numbers or comedy sketches with Martin and Lewis, adding to the variety and entertainment value of the show.

Overall, the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis Collection: Colgate Comedy Hour is a must-see for fans of classic comedy and music.
