  • Summary

  • "Bob and Ray" was a radio comedy program that aired from the 1940s to the 1980s. The show featured Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding, two comedians who specialized in absurdist humor and dry wit. The duo would often take on multiple roles and use exaggerated character voices to create their comedic sketches.

    Some of their most famous characters included "Mary Backstage, Noble Wife," a melodramatic soap opera actress; "Wally Ballou," a hapless on-the-scene reporter; and "Lawrence Fechtenberger," a nerdy scientist. The show's humor was often satirical, poking fun at popular culture, current events, and advertising.

    "Bob and Ray" was a hit with audiences and critics alike, winning several awards and accolades throughout its run. The duo also appeared on television, in films, and in commercials. Their influence can be seen in later comedy programs, such as "Saturday Night Live" and "Monty Python's Flying Circus."
