Q: On April 20, 1961, FM radio stations in the U.S. were granted permission to do what?
A: To broadcast in stereo. When I started in radio, I was in mono. It was okay, I guess, but I prefer annoying people in stereo.
Q: What famous actress made her film debut on this day in 1934 in a movie called "Stand Up and Cheer"?
A: Shirley Temple. Some of today's movies are so bad, the only time an audience will stand up and cheer is when the projector breaks down.
Q: On this day in 1947, what comedian was cut off the air because he told a joke about a mythical network vice-president?
A: Fred Allen. A national controversy erupted when NBC threatened to cancel the weekly show. But Allen hired midgets to picket NBC with signs that read, "This network is unfair to the little man." Allen stayed on the air.
