Kraft Music Hall is an umbrella title for several television series aired by NBC in the United States from the 1950s to the 1970s in the musical variety genre, sponsored by Kraft Foods, the producers of a well-known line of cheeses and related dairy products. Their commercials were usually announced by "The Voice of Kraft", Ed Herlihy.
Production
Lavish live-TV staging that somehow feels both expensive and deeply cursed.
Costume
Peak 1950s-70s fashion disasters preserved in amber.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This show pioneered the 'integrated commercial' — entertainment and advertising so blended you couldn't tell where the song ended and the cheese began. Basically invented modern influencer culture.
Ed Herlihy, 'The Voice of Kraft,' also narrated the JFK assassination newsreels and countless movie trailers. One voice sold you cheese, sold you trauma, sold you the next blockbuster.
