DANNY KAYE: THE BENEFITS OF VERSATILITYDavid Daniel Kaminsky (1911-1987), known to the world as Danny Kaye, was an entertainer that could do it all. He was as adept at pathos as he was at antic comedy, and he captivated audiences throughout the 1950s with his magic.  His signature patter songs, represented by our first number: Anatole of Paris, were crafted for him by his business partner and wife, Sylvia Fine, and together they made film and Broadway history. This is a fascinating connection that deserves a deeper dive.Danny resembled my adored uncle Teddy, and I always associated them in my mind. They had similar profiles and hair styles, and I was delighted to discover that his people and mine emigrated from the same town in Ukraine. Throughout my early years Danny Kaye's warmth and silliness provided a safe harbor against the anxieties of childhood. He was my ideal tutor in the film Merry Andrew, introducing the Pythagorean theory in song.Early on in his career, in 1934, Danny toured Asia - and it was there that he discovered and developed his skill at entertaining audiences who didn't speak English, a key to his popularity with kids of all ages. ANATOLE OF PARISThis number comes from the 1947  film, THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY, adapted form James Thurber's novel about the day dreams of a hen pecked magazine editor. Sylvia Fine worked up this ditty where Danny fantasizes that he is a French milliner who bedecks ladies in ridiculous hats - because, as we find out in the punch line -  he hates women.  You can imagine the impish glint in Danny's eye as he extrapolates on the outrages that he'll commit to these chapeaux, and that's one of the secrets of Danny Kaye's success: the absolute delight he takes in wowing us with his lighter than air articulations. I WONDER WHO'S KISSING HER NOWAnd, here comes the other side of this complex coin - the opening up and sharing of his soulful humanity. This recording, also from 1947, has Danny - ever so tenderly - crooning over a lost love. The song, composed in 1909 by Harold Orlob, for the Broadway play, THE PRINCE OF TO-NIGHT, became a standard. In the hands of the master, this rumination is akin to listening in on the singer's private thoughts, as opposed to a performance. As we said in the intro, this artist could do it all, and here is but a sampling of his versatility.

 Every year about this time there's a quick burst of blossom, a promise of renewal and that first pitch of the national pastime. I don't know about you but it's my favorite time of year, a time when winter's cold is shut down and we've got that Spring Fever. This week's show will take time out for a couple sets celebrating and remembering baseball's past through music with the likes of The Treniers, Danny Kaye, and Dr. John with some early rapping from Mel Allen of all people. And that's just the half of it because the fever goes beyond the diamond: we'll share songs of April love with Shirley Jones, Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White with Perez Prado, Nina Simone, Martha Tilton, and a run of classic country with Johnny Horton, Sons of the Pioneers and the Sons of the San Joaquin. From stickball to kite-flying to the first frisbees of the year in the local park. Let's get away from it all.

The boys drink and review a robust porter then discuss "abusive empathy."Abusive empathy is when you turn empathy into a weapon or a tool to manipulate.Some examples would include ...* Telling college age kids they're too fragile to face other views* Passing kids to the next grade rather than hurting their feelings* Prioritizing emotions over facts* Infantilizing people rather than allowing them to become strong* Silencing dissent by labeling other opinions as cruel or unfeelingIt's similar to the Jungian concept of the "devouring mother," where mom protects the kids from the natural consequences of their actions, doesn't allow them to face struggle or failure, in an effort to keep them dependent.Examples in media would include Danny Kaye in White Christmas, or Eddie Haskall in Leave it to Beaver.Then the boys entertain a question from a listener about whether Elon should apologize for his alleged "Nazi salute," which leads to a discussion about when an apology is appropriate.Which in turn leads to a discussion of the social media meme that "no matter how much you hate the media, you don't hate them enough."

Couch And Coffee Table present another episode of Suspense, this episode is called I Never Met The Dead Man starring Danny Kaye. This episode aired on January 5, 1950.

Der DAX markierte mit 21.801 Punkten ein neues Allzeithoch, schloss aber nahezu unverändert bei 21.732 Punkten (-0,03 %). Der EUROSTOXX50 verlor 0,1 % auf 5.278 Punkte. An der Wall Street sorgten Apple und Intel für gute Stimmung: Firmen-News: Die Commerzbank überraschte mit einem Rekordgewinn von 2,7 Mrd. Euro (+20 %) und kündigte eine höhere Dividende sowie ein 400-Mio.-Euro-Aktienrückkaufprogramm an. Walgreens setzt die Dividende aus - die Aktie stürzt um 15 % ab. Samsung investiert weiter in KI-Chips und verdoppelte 2024 seinen Gewinn auf 33,6 Bio. Won. OpenAI will 40 Mrd. Dollar frisches Kapital einsammeln, während Intel mit seiner Umsatzprognose enttäuscht. Novartis wächst stark mit einem Umsatzplus von 12 % auf 50,3 Mrd. Euro. Visa mit Gewinnplus im Weihnachtsquartal. Börsenweisheit zum Abschluss: "Geld allein macht nicht glücklich. Es gehören auch Aktien, Gold und Grundstücke dazu." - Danny Kaye.

I won't be able to put together new episodes for the next two weeks, so I've decided to reach back into the "Stars on Suspense" archive and share some of my favorite "best of" collections. This week, it's a showcase of the comedians who showed a different side of their talents when they starred on Suspense in thrillers. First, Danny Kaye schemes to bump off a rival and steal his girl in "The Too-Perfect Alibi" (originally aired on CBS on January 13, 1949).  Then, Fibber McGee and Molly take a car trip with an uninvited passenger in "Backseat Driver" (originally aired on CBS on February 3, 1949) and Bob Hope tries to talk his way out of a date with a killer in "Death Has a Shadow" (originally aired on CBS on May 5, 1949). Finally, Milton Berle tries method acting as a way to beat a murder rap in "Rave Notice" (originally aired on CBS on October 12, 1950) and Eve Arden of Our Miss Brooks is a jilted woman with murder on her mind in "The Well-Dressed Corpse" (originally aired on CBS on January 18, 1951).

Ok, yes, we may be burning this title when there are certainly multiple renditions of "Santa Baby" called "Santa Daddy" that we didn't touch in this episode. We're just going to have to call that one "Daddy Christmas" or something. No, rather than casting actual Santa as a metaphorical daddy, this Father's Day episode features songs about actual fathers and not-actual Santa Clauses: "Santa Claus Looks Like My Daddy" by Danny Kaye and "Daddy's Beer" by Dave Gunning. Thank you to Myles for requesting "Santa Claus Looks Like My Daddy"! The ranking music in this episode is "Santa Claus is a Black Man" by Akim and Teddy Vann.

Joining Jill and Doron on the 19th episode of the podcast, the first of our second season, to tell us his story, is Rabbi David Rosen (1958-67), the youngest son of Carmel College's founders Rabbi Dr. Kopul and Bella Rosen, and brother of Rabbis Jeremy Rosen and the late Micky Rosen.   David, known to his old school friends as Buster, is currently Special Advisor to the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi.  He is the former Chief Rabbi of Ireland, and previously Senior Rabbi of the largest Jewish congregation in South Africa during the apartheid era.  For his interfaith work, he has received a papal knighthood and was named a Commander of the British Empire by the late Queen Elizabeth II.  David lives in Jerusalem and is married to Sharon, with whom he has three children and seven grandchildren, ranging in age from 2 to 23.     Hear David talk about sibling rivalries, playing cricket with the Chief Rabbi, hearing Danny Kaye sing Hebrew in Wallingford on Faye Day, and his IDF service.   Thank you, Rabbi David Rosen, for turning us again to Carmel days!   Dedication: at David's request, this episode is dedicated to the memory of his late mother Bella Rosen, who made often unrecognized yet invaluable contributions to Carmel College as its co-founder.  In the school's early years, she shouldered responsibilities as Catering Manager and Household Supervisor.   During one of the institution's dire financial periods she selflessly pawned her engagement ring to ensure breakfast for the school's boys, an act that resonates with profound dedication.  She later joined the Board of Governors.  Sadly, Bella Rosen passed away in Jerusalem in 1999. Personal mentions in this episode: Rabbi Dr. Kopul Rosen (Founder and Principal) Bella Rosen (Co-founder) Rabbi Jeremy Rosen (Headmaster) Ron Evans (Mathematics) Mary Evans (Mathematics) Rabbi Sidney Leperer (Jewish Studies & Ancient History) Miriam Leperer Moshe Dover (Preparatory School Head & Jewish Studies) Zahava Dover Timothy Healey (History & Cricket) Joshua Gabbay (French) Mrs. H.

This month, Annie and Dave are joined by two friends, Kate and Jeremy, to discuss The Court Jester, a 1955 film starring Danny Kaye and Basil Rathbone.

While the cast of Jack Benny became famous in their own right, Benny's show had great guest-stars, as Dennis Day remembered. On the May 28th, 1944 episode Jack is in talks with Warner Brothers to make a film about his life. Naturally Jack thinks he'll star, write, and direct it. Unfortunately for him, Warner Brothers has other ideas. They want Danny Kaye to play Jack and Jack to play Jack's father.

On Episode 33 of Season 5 of the Old Radio Comedy Podcast, we bring you the January 13, 1945 broadcast of The Danny Kaye Show, and the May 22, 1940 broadcast of the Burns and Allen Show. Thanks for listening!

Power Salad's entry in the "The FuMP Desecrates Tom Lehrer" tribute album. Being a huge fan of not only Mr Lehrer but also the great Danny Kaye, this one seemed a natural to do, in addition to the fact that it really deserved a full orchestral treatment like the original 1960 recordings. Care was taken to not only arrange the orchestral parts tastefully, but also to stea---uh, mimi-- erm, cop---INTERPRET the vocal performance of Mr Lehrer, down to the Russian bits, which I am told are real. I'll believe it when I see it. So here's "Lobachevsky", and as John Lennon once said on a Beatles Christmas record, "It's only cheap...." Chris Mezzolesta on vocal, Cossacks, tambourine & keyboards/programming.

We're down to our last two Sleigh Bell Cinema re-runs for this season and these are biggies. Today it's one of Michael's family's absolute favorites: a movie that they cannot safely get through the holiday season without watching. We're talking about Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen in White Christmas. And since it's such a tradition with Michael's family, it's appropriate that he talked about it with his wife Diane.
