Episode #220: King For A Day

During the golden age of comedy, an audience favorite was entertainers that roasted one another. Perhaps the most famous of these "feuds" was between Fred Allen and Jack Benny, who started accidently by hurtling sideways barbs at one another on their popular radio shows, and developed into an all-out, but good-natured insult-fest. Fred Allen's parody of radio quiz shows "King For A Day" many consider the culmination of this feud. Today we are bringing you one of the essential comedy shows of radio "King For A Day."
