57th Anniversary of Elderly Gentleman's Cabaret's TV premiere
Today's Doodle marks the 57th Anniversary of the first episode of the polish television show, Elderly Gentleman's Cabaret or Kabaret Starszych Panów.
The show premiered October 16th, 1958 and was titled "Afternoon Old Men", starring the two creators: poet Jeremi Przybora and composer Jerzy Wasowski.
Elegantly dressed in now-iconic dinner jackets and top hats, the pair
performed satirical musical acts that addressed major cultural changes
of the 50's and 60's.
The show aired late at night, and though not many people owned TVs,
it was a smashing success. Soon it was a nation-wide household name —
friends and families congregated around TV sets in their neighbor's
homes to watch two gentlemen cavort and sing.
The legendary cabaret-style show aired during primetime on Polish
public television for 8 years, and featured cameos from top Polish
actors and singers. The program brought humor, wit and artistic
excellence to the small screen and garnered die-hard followers for
decades to come.
