Comments

• This show was originally thought to be from December 31, 1959 which is a Thursday. Shep did not broadcast weekdays at this time. Shep says "We'll be here until one o"clock." He also says something like, "Should I wait until after 11?" regarding something or other he was going to do - either the jazz, or the George Ade story, or the head thumping. He also says "This is the last show of 1959" Since Thursday was the 31st, then this broadcast would be the evening of December 27 into the 28th of 1959. He never mentions it being midnight even though he does make reference to the Holiday. There is no mention of Shep being on the air in the WOR evening lineup for the two dates according to the New York Times Radio section: Sunday, December 27, 1959 9:00 News; Jean Shepherd Show 9:30 Sports; Jean Shepherd Show 10:00 News; Jean Shepherd Show 11:00 News Report 11:15 Jean Shepherd 1:00 Long John Thursday, December 31, 1959 9:00 News; UN Today 9:15 Studio X - Music 10:00 News 10:15 Studio X - Music 11:00 News 11:15 Studio X - Music 12:00 Long John

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
