 Episode records are incomplete. Berle did not begin as the permanent  emcee; hosts rotated during the summer of 1948  (Morey Amsterdam (qv), Harry Richman (qv), Georgie Price (qv),  Henny Youngman (qv), Jack Carter (I) (qv) and  Peter Donald (I) (qv) all were rotating hosts) but Berle won out  as an audience favorite and was retained as the permanent host/star  by September, 1948.
