"Name That Radio Show" - Orson extravaganza!

Discuss all Welles-related Radio & Audio projects here.

I have an idea for a guessing game involving Orson's radio shows.

I'll take any sentence from an Orson radio show, and any one can give a guess which particular show it came from. The correct guesser than takes any sentence from any other show, and continues the game.

I don't know how well this will go, but here's trying!


Here we go, the first one will be easy:

"One word of comfort, when you go to bed tonight don't worry, put out the lights and go to sleep."

Name that radio show...

No guesses.....





Oh well, I tried. ;)



The answer was Dracula, in case any one cared.

Anybody heard Orson singing on some of his old shows? I heard him singing with Rudy Vallee and Jack Barrymore yesterday - that was pretty funny, and I think there were several episodes of Orson Welles Almanac in which he sang. He always sang purposefully badly, but it's another side of his talent that we rarely saw (or heard.) He sang the song "Daisy" in the Lord Mountdrago segment of the film Three Cases of Murder years before HAL 9000, too.

And One Man Band. That was his greatest hit.

No, not that Ray Charles Singers single from 1984, all he did was talk on that one, like William Shatner.
