Found this interesting factoid. The studio originally wanted Orson Welles to be the narrator of The Twilight Zone =>
“According to the Chicago Tribune, Welles wanted too much money to serve as the narrator. When an agreement couldn’t be reached, Welles walked away from the project, and Serling jumped in as the narrator. He served as the face of the show for 156 episodes.”
Should be grateful he wasn’t hired. The Twilight Zone without the Rod Serling intro and narration just isn’t the same.
