An attempt was made to adapt "A Day in the Life Of Dennis Day" as an NBC filmed series (Sam Berman's caricature of Dennis was used in the opening and closing titles), produced by Jerry Fairbanks for Dennis' sponsor, Colgate-Palmolive, featuring the original radio cast, but got no farther than an unaired 1949 pilot episode. In late 1950, a sample kinescope was produced by Colgate and their ad agency showcasing Dennis as host of a projected "live" comedy/variety series ("The Dennis Day Show") for CBS, but that, too, went unsold. He continued to appear as a regular cast member when "The Jack Benny Program" became a TV series, staying with the show until it ended in 1965.
