Gabby Hayes tells a tall tale about being trapped on an Iceberg, then shows action scenes from a Buster Crabbe western.
The Gabby Hayes Show is a Western television series in which the western film star and sidekick for John Wayne, Hopalong Cassidy and Roy Rogers -- George "Gabby" Hayes (1885–1969) -- narrated each episode, showed clips from old westerns, and told TALL TALES. The first Hayes program ran on NBC at 5:15 p.m. Eastern for fifteen minutes three times per week and preceded the puppet series, Howdy Doody. It aired from December 11, 1950, to January 1, 1954. The second version was a half-hour broadcast on Saturday mornings, carried for only thirteen weeks from May 12 to July 14, 1956, on ABC.
The titles such as Telescope, Swan Dive and Mosquito refer to one of the "Tall Tales" that Gabby tells at the start or tail of each episode.
The show was sponsored by Quaker Oats' puffed cereals, which were "shot from guns". As was common at the time, the host delivered the commercial. This often included Hayes firing a small cannon loaded with the cereal at the camera, while warning the viewers to "Watch out for your televisionary sets!"
