Episode 430: The Henry Morgan Show

Today we shine a spotlight on one of the great but often forgotten comedians of the 1940s and ’50s: Henry Morgan. We’ll be hearing his April 4, 1950 NBC broadcast, and includes a few fun sketches, like an interview with a wrestler named “Gorgeous Carney,” a musical number from the Billy Williams Quartet, and a parody of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde featuring Henry Morgan alongside familiar voices like Art Carney and Arnold Stang. It’s clever, fast-paced, and a great reminder of just how ahead of his time Henry Morgan really was.
