Death At King Tut's Tomb

Description

The show kicks off with a song called "The Carioca." Then comes The March of Trivia, which covers a serious water problem happening in New York City. There's also a question about whether guest star Jack Haley will take over Fred Allen's spot. A singer named Thomas Secondari, who won the Texaco College Competition at the University of Alabama, performs next. After that, the Texaco Workshop Players put on a funny skit called "Mayhem At King Tut's Tomb," also known as "My Mummy Done Told Me."

Texaco Star Theater is an American comedy-variety show, broadcast on radio from 1938 to 1949 and telecast from 1948 to 1956. It was one of the first successful examples of American television broadcasting, remembered as the show that gave Milton Berle the nickname "Mr. Television", and helping propel the sales of Televisions in the 1950s.
