It Pays To Be Ignorant - How Do You Keep The Back Door From Slamming? - April 21, 1944

Published: Dec. 2, 2019, 3:44 p.m.

Another episode of a parody quiz program that ran for 9 years on Mutual, CBS, and then NBC Radio from 1942-51. Show begins with a brief history of the series and background on the 4 people in the photo... Front Row left to right: Harry McNaughton, Lulu McConnell and George Shelton. Standing in back, Tom Howard - Moderator and co-creator/writer of the series. All of these people were originally vaudevillian performers who successfully brought their humor to the transition into radio... something that most vaudeville performers were NOT able to do! More of this series in my "Game Show" playlist on this podcast.
