This week features the legendary Groucho Marx on The Orson Welles Almanac. This episode aired Wednesday, 9:30 p.m. EST on January 26, 1944.
The Orson Welles Almanac (also known as The Orson Welles Comedy Show) was a variety program on CBS Radio.
The idea of doing such a variety show occurred to Welles after his success as substitute host of The Jack Benny Program. Welles had an ongoing battle with program sponsor, Mobil, which shortened the life of the series. For example, Welles bristled at a suggestion that if Duke Ellington appeared on the show he should play the role of Welles's servant. [Wikipedia]
