Today we are featuring comedy, with a rare chance to hear this episode of The Henry Morgan Show in better sound quality. This is a later episode from the series from March 28, 1950, originally broadcast on NBC and later rebroadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The show includes performances by Art Carney, Arnold Stang, and the Billy Williams Quartet. Again Morgan’s absurdist observations contrast societal norms and everyday occurrences, such as introductions, phone calls, and serving food, with their often-exaggerated radio portrayals. The host, Henry Morgan, known as the "bad boy of radio," frequently deviates from popular conventions of the period, one of the reasons we can appreciate this show's unpredictable and ahead-of-its-time comedic style so many years later.
