As the baggy eyed Fred Allen is introduced, he has a little trouble with Kenny Baker in his job description. What’s a Noodnick anyway? The News of the Week features: The movie industry, critics, and the latest kinds of films coming out. There’s a little snipping going on through the usual music and commercial breaks that make the show shorter.
Portland reports that Mr Ramshaw, the eagle is back. Fred and trainer, Captain Night review details about the eagle. No crazy flights around the studio today though.
After some hacked up interuptions, and snipped music and commercial, Fred, Portland, and Kenny talk a little about the inside workings of big Hollywood studios. Fred gets in a few jokes and jabs at rival Jack Benny. The cast try their hand at some old time magician tricks and jokes. Kenny’s song gets snipped, but the commercial is present. Sort of.
Fred is bugged by a couple fans who want radio shows to have different endings. The Laughing host of a kiddie show says what he’s really thinking about his audience., A commercial with a list of ingredients that nobody can understand or pronounce is done a little more bluntly. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the crooks get away on a mystery show once in a while? What about a music show that played a bad song?
PS: Great spoofs, and I hope you enjoyed my guest host.
