Step back into the golden age of television with this 1958 episode of Kraft Music Hall, hosted by Milton Berle. The night’s highlight is a warm and wonderfully spirited appearance by the legendary Jimmy Durante — the beloved comedian, singer, pianist, and entertainer known to millions as “The Schnozzola.”

Durante performs “You Gotta Start Off Each Day With a Song,” the number that became inseparable from his persona. With his unmistakable gravelly voice, playful humor, and heartfelt delivery, Durante brings the song to life the way only he could, even Milton gets in on the fun. They share the stage with easy camaraderie, making this episode a true vintage variety-show gem.
