Old Time Radio Snack Wagon

Today, the fascinating tale of Abbott and Costello's rise to stardom—a journey sprinkled with hot dogs, mustard, and a dash of destiny. We feature "Show Stoppers," a 15-minute radio program that highlighted the pivotal moments when stars were born.
Dive into the duo's candid interview as they reminisce about their early days, from the struggle for their next gig to their big break on Kate Smith's radio show. But it's their legendary mustard routine that truly transformed their careers, turning a simple hot dog stand banter into a show-stopping act that catapulted them to fame on Broadway and beyond.
Relive the magic of their iconic sketch and learn how a condiment controversy became their ticket to the limelight. It's a classic comedic tale that proves sometimes, the recipe for success is as simple as a hot dog... with or without the mustard.

In today's episode, we tak e a look at a great clip from a lesser known program. After producing radio-gold with The Great Gildersleeve, Harold Peary left NBC and the Series for a new series The Harold Peary Show, which became an uneven show that felt like a Gildersleeve knock-off that struggled to find its way.
Yet the show did have some good moments as we hear in this scene from May 2, 1951 where Peary reads Alan Beck's essay, "What is a Boy?"
