| I believe (?)... it is widely known that ..ED WYNN was the first to have a "LIVE" radio studio audience? -- I was asked that the other day. And the true story goes.. he wanted to HEAR the audience laughing behind the glass he could see.. but could not hear. Though they saw him and could hear him.The audio was fed to them. Timing was the reason. When the glass was removed the first time, Wynn's delivery of jokes and comebacks were so improved, he had the audience the following week moved into the studio where the cast was broadcasting. Never again a seperation of jokes and a "live" laughing audience! |

| The same was true with Eddie Cantor. They used to have a "glass curtain" cutting off the audience's laughter from being broadcast. Some of those early Cantor recordings which had the "glass curtain" have survived and were recently released. |

| The only live radio show I attended in the 1940s was a show carried by radio station KWK in St. Louis broadcast from the Chase Hotel. It was named "The Funny Money Show" and the host was Ed Wilson. I believe folks answered triva questions for a few bucks - nothing like the millionaire shows on TV to |
