Bob Elliott
of the Radio comedy team Bob and Ray died last Tuesday. His partner Ray Goulding died in 1990.
Back in the
day, NBC had a weekend show that ran from Saturday morning to I suppose Sunday
night or Monday morning. It covered
everything , Interviews, music, news, sports, and all weekend it was sprinkled with hilarious
skits by Bob and Ray. Their format was
usually an interviewer and interviewee.
They were a riot, in a dry subtle British-cool type of humor of course.
I read once
that their unique chemistry was strictly business behind the mike.
Off the air
they hardly spoke and certainly didn't socialize with each other.
It took
strange birds to produce their brand of humor non-stop for over a long time
span I suppose.
