Uptown Jubilee is an American all-black variety show that aired on CBS Television from September 13 to October 20, 1949.
The show aired live on Tuesday nights from 8pm to 9pm ET during September, and on Thursdays from 8:30pm to 9pm ET during October.
The program aired three times as an hour-long show, each with a different title: premiering as Uptown Jubilee, changing to Harlem Jubilee, and finally Sugar Hill Times, the title also used during the two half-hour telecasts on October 6 and 20.

CBS couldn't find a sponsor in New York willing to pay the low price of $4,000 for the show—a typical hour went for $10,000 on a network at the time—so after five episodes the show was canceled.
