The Big Birdcast (1938)
Guess the Bad Impressions
I am not the greatest authority on old radio, but here's my stab at guessing the impressions - in order of appearance. Please fill in any I can't identify in the comments.
Bing Crosby
? (redhead in green overalls singing badly: "Hiya folks!")
Rudy Vallee (w/ megaphone)
Jack Benny (w/ violin; then "Buck Benny Rides Again")
? (caterpillar)
Ben Bernie ("the old maestro")
Walter Winchell (w/door)
Eddie Cantor
Parkyakarkus (bluebird w/ tuba)
? (judge)
? (lawyer)
Ed Wynn
Joe Penner ("Wanna buy a duck?")
? (boxing announcer)
Primo Carnera (yellow canary boxer)
? (Bluebird Baking Powder announcer)
Most of the impressions are really poor, and I was born several decades after the cartoon was made, but I am sure of the ones I got. Can anyone identify the six that I couldn't? It ran on the "Telethon!" episode of "Toon in With Me" (Feb. 8, 2023)
