The Vincent Lopez Show was an early American television program broadcast on the now defunct DuMont Television Network and later on CBS. The series ran from 1949 to 1951 on DuMont and from February to March of 1957 on CBS. It was a music/variety show hosted by Vincent Lopez. The program, produced and distributed by DuMont, originally aired for fifteen minutes (6:45-7:00 PM) every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on most DuMont affiliates.[1] In May of 1949, the series was expanded to thirty minutes and was aired Monday through Friday. DuMont cancelled the series in 1951. Six years later, Lopez would go on to host a similar program on CBS. The DuMont version featured notable performers including Ray Barr, Lee Russell, Barry Valentino, and Ann Warren (all series regulars); and guest stars included Arthur Tracy and Cab Calloway.[2]
