I just have a few comments, gents.
1. Let George Do It (starring Bob Bailey before his turn as Johnny Dollar) was called such because George was hired to do the stuff that was too tough for you to do yourself. His ad in the paper even started with “Danger’s my stock in trade.” It’s a good show, but I prefer Johnny Dollar.
2. The David that they were referring to is probably David Susskind, who hosted a NYC based panel discussion show from 1958 to 1986. I didn’t know about that one, myself. It was a bit before my time. (Yes, so was “Let George Do It”, but I like listening to old radio shows.)
3. Sgt. Rock comics were not based in Vietnam but WW2. Rock and Fury were doing kinda-sorta the same thing, except that Rock, as Jon said, was taken much more seriously.
4. The next time you guys want to do a bit, make sure that it won’t be spoiled by you appearing on another podcast. That topic’s … Resurrections … might just come back to haunt you. 😉
See, I can comment on non-Asgardian things.
