This channel is dedicated to rare vintage Aussie and overseas television footage from the 50s to the 80s which I come across from various sources.
Note: I understand the copyright of these videos belong to the original copyright holders and my only intention of uploading these videos is purely to share this wonderful footage I find on vintage video recordings I come across for the world to see and enjoy. I will of course remove any video if requested by the copyright holder.
Even though its from 1958 it looks like its from 1976. Anyways, back when presidential limousines were not that secured (it was only after JFK's assassination, LBJ made it the current, very very secured one), Eisenhowers bubble-top limousine, the US Flag was still 48 stars here, and that he never used the iconic Blue Goose podium (the US presidential podium) here but his wooden podium that continued to be used throughout the early 60s.
I want the Mad magazine one! It's the Feb 24, 1960 "PSP Four for Tonight" that the Paley Center (they possess a black and white copy at least) says spotlights the talents of four performers, opening with "The Tony Randall Mad Magazine Revue," which features blackout sketches in a tribute to "Mad." Beatrice Lillie plays a glamour queen surrounded by suitors in "The Beatrice Lillie Show" and sings "The Way of It All" and "The Lesson with the Fan." Cyril Ritchard performs a satirical sketch titled "Around the World on Eighty Pounds" on his "show"; and Tammy Grimes sings tributes to the American woman in her "show." Somebody sneak out a copy and post it!

Love it, just been going through vintage bloopers from the 40s and 50s and you'd swear (pun intended) no one used expletives back then, with "Nuts!" being the go-to exclamation of frustration in most of the clips I viewed.
What surprises me somewhat is that anyone could think this type of language wasn't used in the 50s. The F-word has been around for thousands of years. The Roman legions used to sing it in marching songs for instance (often tongue in cheek about their commanders sexual exploits). Just because it's not in English didn't mean the word did not exist. The word or comparison word crops up throughout history. Just read history and you will come across it from time to time.
I believe there might be some confusion in your question. The oldest known color videotaping is often associated with the 1958 NBC broadcast of "An Evening With Fred Astaire," which featured President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The event took place at the White House, and portions of it were recorded in color by NBC at WRC-TV in Washington, D.C. This historic broadcast marked one of the earliest instances of color videotaping, showcasing the capabilities of the technology at the time. The videotape of this event still exists today and is considered a significant milestone in the history of television technology. It's worth noting that the credit for the earliest color videotape recording is shared among various events, and different sources may provide slightly different information. Nevertheless, the 1958 NBC broadcast with President Eisenhower is often cited in discussions about early color videotaping.
