In 1934-36, Berle was heard regularly on The\\nRudy Vallee Hour, and he got much publicity as a regular on The Gillette\\nOriginal Community Sing, a Sunday night comedy-variety program broadcast on\\nCBS from September 6, 1936 to August 29, 1937. In 1939, he was the host of Stop\\nMe If You\'ve Heard This One with panelists spontaneously finishing jokes\\nsent in by listeners. Three Ring Time, a comedy-variety show sponsored\\nby Ballantine Ale was followed by a 1943 program sponsored by Campbell\'s Soups.\\nThe audience participation show Let Yourself Go (1944-45) could best be\\ndescribed as slapstick radio with studio audience members acting out long\\nsuppressed urges (often directed at host Berle). Kiss and Make Up, on\\nCBS in 1946, featured the problems of contestants decided by a jury from the\\nstudio audience with Berle as the Judge. He also made guest appearances on many\\ncomedy-variety radio programs during the 1930s and 1940s.
