Radio Daze: Jack Benny Is Alive And Kicking For Your Old Radio Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another episode of Radio Daze. This edition features the legendary Jack Benny during his years on the Jello Progam. These two episode are from 1940 and feature Benny with legends Orson Welles and Fred Allen. Allen, in particular is a funny counterpoint to Benny, as the two good friends had quite the radio feud that ran from the late 1930s all the way through the 40s. Both of these programs feature Benny at his best. Truly funny programs to listen two huddled up by the fire during the evening! Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: Burns & Allen Plus Jack Benny Equals Comedy Gold!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some old radio comedy classic programming to enliven your weekend. This week we’ve got a couple of Burns & Allen programs from 1943 featuring legend Jack Benny as a guest star. These two programs involve Jack at a beauty parlor being caught by Gracie and the blackmail that follows. Enjoy the programs and feel free to comment either below or on my Facebook page. So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: The Pat Walsh Show – Friday, May 7th –
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another Dogcast featuring my appearance on the Pat Walsh Show last Friday night. Sorry It’s so late, but sometimes real life intrudes and keeps me from getting to the computer. Still I hope you enjoy this particular hour in which not only do I discuss a couple of movies, but we also get into a funny impromptu discussion on the “nonconsensual kiss” at the end of the redesigned “Snow White” ride at the recently reopened Disneyland! Enjoy this segment of The Pat Walsh Show and feel free to comment either below or at my Facebook page. So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: Mel Blanc At His Best On His Own Show!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some more old radio fun. In honor of the Tom & Jerry flick making its way to HBO Max today, I thought I’d throw in some classic Mel Blanc. Blanc, of course, didn’t voice Tom & Jerry, but he was the legendary voice of the Warner Brothers cartoons. Not only that, but he was a busy performer on various radio shows, including Jack Benny, Burns & Allen, The Judy Canova Show, and Abbott & Costello. He also had his own show for about a year that was really popular. He had to quit because he was just too busy with other projects. Here are a couple of shows for your listening pleasure. (Trust me, it’s more enjoyable than the new Tom & Jerry movie). Enjoy and feel free to comment here or on my Facebook page. So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dogcast: More Phil Harris For Your Comedy Old Radio Enjoyment!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some more old radio fun. I seem to be on a Phil Harris/Alice Faye kick and it continues this week with the next two episodes from the first season of their Rexall run. In the first, little Phyllis has a boyfriend and in the second, Phil and Frankie buy a live steer to save on meat with predictably chaotic results. Enjoy and feel free to comment either here or on my Facebook page. So Sayeth The Kendog!
