Garroway At Large (musical variety)

    (NBC Primetime, 1949 - 1951)

    [this nighttime variety show originated from Chicago, and
     was a forum for Garroway's laid-back personality and humor;
     Garroway had been a Chicago radio personality; this show
     preceded his stint on the Daytime NBC "Today" show, and
     may have been one reason he was known to Pat Weaver who
     originated the "Today" show]
