The Colgate-Palmolive Peet Company presented their radio House Party show over the NBC Red network beginning on April 23, 1934. The star-laden variety show featured the comedy of Arthur Boran and Joe Cook, emcee Bradford Browne, vocalists Frances Langford, The Melody Boys, Donald Novis, The Rhythm Girls, Conrad Thibault, and Al Trahan, and the orchestra under the direction of Donald Voorhees.

Joe Cook hosted his party from the mythical estate of Sleepless Hollow where old actors in residence entertained the guests. Cook left the show after the broadcast of November 12, 1934; however, the show continued without him. Peggy Allenby took over the hosting chores, Al Goodman signed on as the new orchestra leader, and Alois Havrilla announced

The revised House Party followed a similar format to the original which was probably a mistake. The series continued to struggle for audience appeal without success. The Colgate House Party bowed out of the radio schedule during January of 1935.
