What happens

The Gabby Hayes Show is the name given to two early children's television series. Both series were broadcast on NBC, and both were sponsored by the Quaker Oats Company. Gabby Hayes was the host of a series that featured history stories. He also introduced another program that showed scenes from old western films. In 1953, The Gabby Hayes Show was nominated for an Emmy Award in the category of outstanding children's program, but lost to Time for Beany. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
