Five Star Jubilee

Five Star Jubilee is an American country music variety show carried by NBC-TV from March 17–September 22, 1961.

The live program, a spin-off of ABC-TV's Jubilee USA, was the first network color television series to originate outside New York City or Hollywood.

Barbara Mandrell (who had toured with Red Foley and a Jubilee USA personal appearance unit) made her network debut on the program at age 12.

The program was produced from the Landers Theatre with KYTV-TV's assistance using two new NBC color mobile units (built for World Series coverage)[6] and three RCA TK-41 cameras.

Because it was the first color TV series outside New York City or Hollywood, scenic designer Andy Miller created the first color scenic stage sets for television outside those two cities after receiving brief training at NBC in New York.

L-R: Tex Ritter, Jimmy Wakely, Snooky Lanson, Carl Smith and Rex Allen at the Landers Theatre. Note the Massey Ferguson tractor at right.
