Tonight: Legendary comedian and cigar smoker George Burns and singer, pianist and entertainer Buddy Greco
George Burns 's career covers American showbusiness history like a text-book - from vaudeville in the 1900s to producing TV shows in the 1970s. He's just made his first film appearance as an actor (in The Sunshine Boys opposite Walter Matthau ). And of course he'll always be remembered for his half of the Burns and Allen shows. A forgotten side-light of the story is that George and Gracie were first booked as a radio act by the then British Broadcasting Company in 1926. TV producer RICK GARDNER
