Our alarm clock

I remember Kovacs&apos; first morning show was on CBS opposite NBC&apos;s Today Show with Dave Garroway. Kovacs frequently featured the Kapusta Kid (theme song: Make me some hot cakes and sausage), sports scores preceded by a 1915 record of There&apos;s a Little Spark of Love Still Burning, and records of popular songs with cartoons shown on screen as the song played. e.g. Roz Russell and Edie Adams sang Why Did I Ever Leave Ohio and the cartoons showed 2 cats howling on a fence. Edie, a cute blonde with a Buster Brown do, once sang a hit song of the day &quot;Ach tung! Du mit der Sterne in die Augen.&quot; It was too good to last, and eventually he was replaced by Jack Paar. After a short time, we went back to Garroway.
