An early sketch comedy series that went through a number of different incarnations. Hosted by the comedy team of Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster. The earliest version was ''Shuster & Wayne'', a radio program they were given as a result of their earlier radio work ''The Wife Preservers''. The next show was ''The Wayne and Shuster Show'' created for [[CBC]] radio in 1946 after they left the army after the second world war. There was a weekly television series in the 1950s, but that gave way to the better known appearances on ''The [[Ed Sullivan Show]] '' (where they appeared ''67'' times!) and their monthly CBC specials that ran from the early 1960s to the 1980s.
Line 16:
* [[Aside Comment]], [[Aside Glance]]: frequently, especially in Noir parodies.
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: They ''never'' pass up an opportunity. ''Ever''.
