Okay, a recap of what this quiz is (besides a little bonus for the diehard handful who stop by here on the weekend): occasionally I'll find an old radio show with an appearance by someone who became a much bigger star. The first two were from the mid-'60s, and last time was from the late '50s-- not exactly the golden age of radio. But this time, the clue is from a show called Curtain Time that was done in 1948. And yes, the guy is still working today!

So listen to the intro and see if you can identify him. Then, check out his intro before he launches into the smarmiest reading of a candy-bar commercial ever done. (And if you don't recognize his real first name, or if you just want to cheat, here's a pic of him looking beautiful as always.)
