I don’t remember Wally...’Allou for mayor, sadly. I probably could not listen every day although even on my days off I would sit at home laughing hysterically at those great routines.
I would see them in the hall - Ray Goulding was not friendly, sadly, and I learned to avoid him. (Comedians are neither friendly not warm.)

Wally (their chief “newsman”) was running for mayor. (It was a WOR promotion. ‘73, I think.) Every day he would report on his wonderful campaign events — in Westchester, New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut. Bob and Ray would explain that those folks can’t vote for mayor, but Wally kept saying “but they love me.”
Comedy is apparently the family business in Bob Elliott’s family. His son Chris is a comedian, and so is his granddaughter Amanda.
