John Dunning Quote
For several months McNeill wrote out his scripts by twisting news events into cornball humor. He wore out two jokebooks in the hunt for fresh material. Then the show passed a plateau: about three months into it, the mail picked up. About 100 letters a day were coming in, many with poems, gags, and cheerful American sentiment. It suddenly occurred to McNeill, as he would often recount in later life, that the folks who listen in could write this show a whole lot better than I could.
