Ken Murray became famous for his "Blackouts," a stage variety show at the
El Capitan Theatre
on Vine Street in Hollywood. The Blackouts played to "standing room only" audiences for almost nine years. He was also known for his home movies of celebrities (which he showcased on several TV specials and variety shows).
During
World War II
, he was one of the many celebrities to volunteer at the
Hollywood Canteen
. He later was the original host (1945-1957) of
Queen for a Day
, on the
Mutual Broadcasting System
radio broadcast, which was simulcast on KTSL (now
KCBS-TV
), Channel 2 in Los Angeles. He was also the host of
The Ken Murray Show
, a weekly music and comedy show on
CBS Television
that ran between 1950 and 1953.
Murray filmed Hollywood celebrities and collected them in compilation films such as
Hollywood Without Makeup
(1963). He was also the author of a number of books, including his own story published in 1960 and the only complete life story in print of
Broadway theatre
impresario
Earl Carroll
. He also appeared in an episode of the
ABC
sitcom
The Bing Crosby Show
(1964-1965) and in the
Walt Disney
film
Follow Me, Boys!
(1966).
