In 1982, Kaye delved into his considerable hosting talents to unveil EPCOT Center to the world in EPCOT Center… The Opening Celebration. CBS aired the special, which was a combination of live television with taped segments, on Saturday, October 23rd at 8:00pm. While the park had been open for several weeks already, the showcase, which was billed as a “musical tour through the magical kingdom of EPCOT Center,” enticed viewers to visit the 21st century. Danny Kaye’s performance was precisely what the special needed, a performance that holds up even today.
Of course, as this photograph displays, he did have some help in his ability to entertain.
