''Club Oasis'' is a 24-episode half-hour comedy-variety show, set in a chic simulated nightclub, which appeared on NBC in the 1957–1958 television season. The series alternated with ''The Polly Bergen Show'' in the 9 p.m. EST time slot on Saturday evenings. Though several entertainers appeared as hosts on ''Club Oasis'', the program became most closely associated toward the end of its short run with the bandleader Spike Jones, who became its permanent host, and his City Slickers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Club Oasis on NBC )〕〔 After their performances, the ''Club Oasis'' guests were interviewed by Hy Gardner.
