Summary

We hope you enjoy this special treat from Larry, Dr. Chris and Colonel Jeff. We're bringing you a New Year's episode of The Fred Allen Show which originally aired on 12/14/47. Fred Allen was known for his quick ad libs and cornball recurring characters. Although the show may sound tame by today's standards, his wordplay and double entendre pushed to the edges of acceptable content in its day and he was often censored by the network. Listen for the punchline of the "rainmaker" joke in this episode. Allen and Jack Benny had a completely made up show biz feud that went on for decades. Enjoy and we'll see you next week!
