He was a regular on Allen's Alley on the Fred Allen show. Sorry to say, I don't know who played him. Such is fame. The show also went a very short time on TV, by the way. A wee dram for John RuschmeyerDavid A Smallberg who also knew this one. By the way, it's Caol Ila I drink, not Glenlivet. If any of you want to send me a bottle, I'll be happy to let you.
