Jimmy Durante Presents the Lennon Sisters
- Jimmy Durante Presents the Lennon Sisters
"Jimmy Durante Presents the Lennon Sisters" was a variety television series aired by the ABC television network during the 1969-70 television season. Its theme song was "May We Wish You Well".
Apparently the Lennon Sisters felt an obligation to associate with figures who dated back almost to the origins of modern American show business; shortly after breaking with long-time mentor Lawrence Welk they appeared in this weekly series with an entertainer even more venerable than Welk. They appeared with him at the piano at the beginning of each weekly telecast, and interacted with his guests (many of whom, like Jack Benny, Phyllis Diller, and Bob Hope, were far more his contemporaries than theirs). The program ran on Fridays from September 1969 until January 1970, when it moved to Saturday nights, until the end of the run on July 4, 1970. Apparently designed to appeal to both young and old (or at least, seriously middle-aged) alike, the ratings indicated the program had succeeded in doing neither, despite relatively weak competition, including "Bracken's World" on NBC and movies on CBS, it was not renewed for another season.
