Welcome once again to Wacky Wednesday down in The Dungeon, and as Monty Python used to say, "Now it's time for something completely different," or at least sorta different anyway!
"Fireball Fun-For-All" was a 1949 short lived variety comedy TV show put on by those crazy "Hellzapoppin" jokesters, Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson! I really think they should have called it a "Free-For-All," because just like some insane no holds barred wrasslin' match, this sucker is out of control!
Thanx to the power of modern technology, the antics of Olsen and Johnson can still be enjoyed today, and you don't even have to spend a penny, and you get a million dollars worth of entertainment, and that's because just like a ton of other cool stuff, you'll find it for free over at
"The Internet Archive!"
"Fireball Fun-For-All" is all about the D's.....................DAMES.......(Is this gorgeous doll Chic Johnson's daughter June?)
.................................DAWGS.... (Carlton Emmy and his Mad Wags)............
........................DANGEROUS COMEDY........
..........and singing and DANCING!!!
This cool little hepcat number is called something like
"Buddy The Bopster" and is just a small sample of the zaniness that was "Fireball Fun-For-All!"
It's hard to find solid information about the rest of the cast, but we do know that by name, besides Chic's daughter June, Ole's son J.C. Olsen was in there somewhere, along with Marty May, Bill Hayes, The Mathis Duo, Ron FLetcher, and Joy Skylar! We'll return to "Fireball Fun-For-All" in October with a sweet treat called "Halloween Queen," but in the meantime, if you want to see how they did it in the good old days, follow that link and check it out for yourself!
