Hosting is passed around, but is mostly handled by Bing Crosby. Judy Garland leads off with a medley including, Embraceable You, and The Man I Love. She reds from the mail bag, and gives a radio kiss to troops around the world.

Kay Kaiser and Bing Crosby trade jokes before Kay brings a sound from home. His singers sing, Ma He’s Making Eyes At Me. Bing reads greetings from the mailbag then sings, Sunday Monday or Always.

Bing introduces Jimmy Durante who interupts his song to joke with Bing about the military in this war and the past one. Jimmy gets in a mixture of jokes with a few of his classic tunes. Bing and Judy do a mixed bag of songs to tell a love story in medley.

Trivia Alert: At this time in her life, Judy is 19 and making a career change to break away from her teeny bopper roles, and shift to more grown up roles.
