Remembering Will Rogers: 80 years on, how the ‘cowboy philosopher’ popularized political humor. (PBS News Hour, 8/15/2015)
I'll bet the majority of people don't know that.....
- Rogers’ weekly radio broadcast, one of the first comedic political shows, had become the most listened to program in the country on Sunday evenings by 1935. [Rogers died at age 55 in an airplane crash in Alaska on August 15, 1935.)
- [A]n estimated 40 million people read his “Daily Telegrams,” published by The New York Times and syndicated to hundreds of other newspapers throughout the U.S. and Canada.
- He was also the second highest grossing movie star, behind Shirley Temple.
