Singer and entertainer Eddie Fisher had just concluded a four year run on NBC with a 15 minute variety and musical comedy series Coke Time with Eddie Fisher in 1957.[5] As a continuation of the series, NBC premiered The Eddie Fisher Show on October 1, 1957. The show alternated on Tuesday nights with The George Gobel Show[citation needed] airing from 8:00-9:00 pm for its entire run.
