My brother tipped me to this next item.
Movie legend Gary Cooper made his first guest appearance on television on The Jack Benny Program in September 1958, and, right off the bat, Cooper shocks everyone when he announces he wants to sing.
Jack calls for the Sportsmen, his vocal quartet, who bring a guitar, leading to a hilarious cover of the Everly Brothers' "Bird Dog". Something to behold. Cooper was promoting his film, "Man of The West", so, of course, the main event was a Western skit.
Scope!
As you can tell, Don Wilson was given the night off, with a studio announcer filling in.
