The other cast members on the Bob and Ray television series (1951-53) were Cloris Leachman and Audrey Meadows. Above: Meadows plays a game of Duplication with Bob and Ray. The game required Peppermint Patties, cards, checkers and cribbage boards. The series was also known as Club Embassy.

The connection is that Olbermann's "Worst Person in the World" segment is based on an old Bob and Ray routine.

NPR interview with Bob Elliott.
Thanks to collector Ira Gallen, here's a 1952 clip from the series involving a pitch for the Bob and Ray Burglar Kit.
When you click to enlarge Bob and Ray Throw a Stereo Spectacular (RCA LSP 1773), you can see that on this 1958 Living Stereo record jacket Jack Davis managed to squeeze in almost every performer and group heard on the album. (The only one I don't see is the Percussion Ensemble.)

Listen above for episodes of Bob and Ray's Mary Backstayge, Noble Wife. When I was last at the Museum of Television & Radio (now the Paley Center), I saw they had a huge amount of uncataloged Bob and Ray shows. In 1954 I stayed up until 11pm to listen each night to their late night series, a bit more informal than their daytime shows, yet I never see that series mentioned in print and never run across any CDs or MP3s specifically noting the late night series. Odd. Does anyone know if this is around somewhere? Another item I recall: the Bob and Ray newsletter, available if one wrote in and requested to be placed on the mailing list. Has anyone ever seen this?

This is irrelevant to Bob & Ray (whose radio shows I purchased on CD-ROMs -- a lot of them, anyway -- and I'm now up to the early 1950s), but when I open your blog from BLOGGER in a new window, I get a tab header with "span style" and "font size" and some other stuff in it...
For short?
Spa Fon!

Kip, based on the time posted, I think that you did that while I was making changes in the Bob and Ray post.
And what a great change it is. An addition, I believe. Great Jack Davis LP art. I don't think I've seen this in color before. Thanks also for the fun TV and Radio clips. I love these guys.
