Wednesday With You was a comedy variety show aired in 1945, and was dubbed by Billboard magazine, "The Eddie Show minus Eddie." The broadcast was a summer filler.
Starring singer Nora Martin, announcer Harry Von Zell and emcee Fred Martell, the comedy show followed the same format as the Eddie Show, with songs, running gags and witty repartee.
This stand-in show held the timeslot -- and the attention of audiences -- until the regular show esumed broadcasting in the fall.
