The 10pm Arthur Godfrey and Friends was the single worst 30 minutes of radio I have ever heard in my life. Unlistenable! How that show was popular is beyond me. A bunch of lackeys laughing hysterically at whatever sound their boss makes. It belonged in a bar.
Yeah, Arthur was pretty unbearable. He sometimes referred to himself and his ensemble as “Arthur Godfrey and all the little Godfreys”. Talentless himself, unless you are into ukulele strumming, he ruled over his cast often with a cruel iron fist and seemed to delight in destroying careers. My sweet, deaf Grandmother loved his TV show.
And how!
