'Bob and Ray,' Masters of the Subtle Spoof (NPR)
From NPR News:
Weekend Edition Saturday
March 22, 2008
"Bob Elliott and Raymond Goulding probably couldn't make it as a comedy team today: Their humor was slow-paced and subtle. It evolved over minutes — you had to pay attention. And there was no controversy or foul language".
"But from their start in radio in the 1940s until their retirement in the 1980s, the duo known simply as "Bob and Ray" brought laughter into millions of American homes. Americans of a certain age will still crack a smile at the mere mention of their names".
"....Bob Elliott turns 85 on Wednesday, and he celebrates the occasion with NPR's Susan Stamberg by bringing some favorite characters back to life and reminiscing about others. Ray Goulding died in 1990".
