DescripciĂłn - Comedians Groucho Marx and Fred Allen had much in commonâthey were old vaudevillians who learned their craft the hard way, through many years of trial and error on the road. Both, of course, were skilled ad-libbers renowned for their razor-sharp wit. Allen, whom John Steinbeck called âunquestionably the best humorist of our time,â held his own when dining or trading letters with Marx.Allen achieved the huge success in radio that eluded Marx, a circumstance ironically reversed in television. Marxâs most popular show wouldâve been a great vehicle for Allen. As the latterâs longtime staff writer, Bob Weiskopf, noted: âGroucho thanked him once that he got âYou Bet Your Lifeâ instead of Fred. Groucho told him, âThis wouldâve been perfect for you.â Itâs true. But Fred didnât give television a chance.â Two- time Marx Brothers screenwriter Irving Brecher, whom Groucho considered a great wit, recalls in this ebook the difficulty of scripting films for the team, and his unsuccessful efforts to create a solo radio show for the comicâwho âcouldnât stomach⊠that blow to his egoâ after an earlier show was canceled.Bob Weiskopf discusses his âprestigiousâ gig working for Allen, Fredâs phony feud with Jack Benny, writing for such guest stars as Humphrey Bogart and Orson Welles, the popular Allenâs Alley characters, the writing sessions, the battles with network execs, and more. Plus: Charlie Isaacs talks about writing for Marx, and his failed attempt to sell a script to Allen; writer Hal Kanter recalls his friendship with Allen.Excerpted from the authorâs acclaimed book, âThe Laugh Crafters: Comedy Writing in Radio and TVâs Golden Age,â which features a dozen writers discussing their work in the prehistoric days of broadcastingâthe 1930s, â40s and â50s.
