Summary: Excerpt of the 26 Oct 1949 Steve Allen show with guest star Al Jolson. Al Jolson's candid, unscripted, appearance during this 45 minute broadcast is only hinted by the sample included in this podcast. Listen to him joke and interact with a very young Steve Allen, whose career was just starting, and thrill the audience with a performance of "California, Here I Come," with a long ovation in response. There is much more in the complete broadcast of this show, which will be on the Jolson website through the end of next month. The complete broadcast, along with other Jolson radio shows, is available at the Official Al Jolson Website at www.jolson.org.
