Greetings!
On Saturday, (that's right THIS Saturday 11/7!), MMSC returns with FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT - the letters of Fred Allen and Groucho Marx.
Funny You Should Say That
The Letters of Fred Allen and Groucho Marx
Often remembered as the wiseacre member of the The Marx Brothers
films of the 1930s and 1940s, Groucho Marx became an icon of 1950s
television as the comic quizmaster of the long-running "You Bet Your
Life."
Fred Allen hated television. Allen was a radio comedian who as
early as 1936 had a weekly radio audience of about 20 million. When he
visited The Jack Benny Show to continue their long running comedy feud,
they had the largest audience in the history of radio until FDR's
Fireside Chats.
Groucho Marx and Fred Allen were avid letter-writers
and friends and maintained correspondence with each other over the
years. FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT follows that correspondence.
Original concept by Pam Courselle and Cheryl Rice.
Read by Richard and Catherine Cattabiani.
