In The Corner With Dan Hughes

Stan Freberg's first radio show wasn't the infamous Jack Benny summer replacement show of 1957 - it was the 1954 satirical sitcom, That's Rich.  Freberg played Richard E. Wilk of the Consolidated Paper Works Company.  The list of actors in the show was spectacular:  Frank Nelson, Alan Reed, Daws Butler, Hal March, Peter Leeds.  In later life, Freberg was an advertising genius.  He won 21 Cleos (the advertising world's equivalent of the Oscar).  As a special bonus for you, I've added  his most famous one-minute radio spot at the end of this show.  It's the one where, with the help of the Royal Canadian Air Force, he turns Lake Michigan into a huge chocolate sundae.
