It’s Tuesday, so it's back to zany comedy 1940s radio style. This time it's an October 1944 episode of It Pays to Be Ignorant, the “quiz show” where a panel of so-called experts take moronic questions and proudly give the most ridiculous answers possible. And this week’s twist? They’ve got composer Deems Taylor in the mix, acting as the classy, unbothered foil. Expect goofy musical bits, comedians heckling the orchestra, and some fun interaction with military members in the studio audience. It’s corny, fast, loud, and it’s a great snapshot of how vaudeville comics kept thriving once radio took over.
