It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC.

Good morning again, everyone.

And yes, once again, this membership drive, we're having a 10-question quiz every day at around this time right after the news to break things up a little bit

and have some fun and give away some swag. In this case, get two in a row right and win a Brian Laird Show baseball cap,

or the new WNYC Tote that says you can't defund the truth. Today it's a late night hosts 10 question quiz and we have people lined up

or ready to play because I gave out the number earlier. But when people finish up, you can try

to get in at 212-433, WNYC, 433-9692. And we're going to start today with Lynn and East Northport. Hi, Lynn, ready to play?

I am ready. Okay, this first one is just to make sure you're awake. Last month, my network, ABC,

suspended my talk show initially indefinitely over remarks I made about the

assassinated right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk. Who am I? That would be Jimmy Kimmel.

That's right. You are awake. We were just making sure. Oh, that was too easy. Okay, question two. I was the first host of

the Tonight Show, which premiered in 1954. My first ever opening monologue contained a joke to

explain the concept of such a show. Here's that seminal moment. Here's that 20-second joke

from 1954, episode one of the Tonight Show, and then tell me who I am. It's a long show. It goes on from

1130 here in the east, that is, from 1130 to one in the morning. And we especially selected this particular theater. This is the New York theater called the morning. And we especially selected this particular theater.

This is a New York theater called the Hudson,

and we especially selected us for this very late show

because this theater's, oh, I think it sleeps about 800 people.

It sleeps about 800 people.

Okay, who am I? Do you know?

Jack Parr.

Oh, it was not Jack Parr.
