Peggy King's Program, 'Off The Cuff'...

"The backstage stories that were never told!"

     Next 'Off The Cuff' is Sunday 2/26 @ 7pm EST    

Here's a two minute bio from the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia when Peggy was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2010. Just click the logo.

 This unique program is all about the stars we love from the 30's, 40's & 50's and aired the last Sunday of every month. Join us at 7PM EST. Call in to speak to Peggy King and ask about your favorite star. She worked with them all and will always have a good story! Only the best are archived here.

We also try to keep the Ralph Edwards tradition of This Is Your Life alive with a surprise call from a friend, or someone Peggy worked with that she hasn't spoken to in 50 years! Below are some of them.

Another of these surprises will be happening at the very beginning of the next program 2/26 7pm est.

Later in this program will be a special guest of Peggys. A star in his own right and a very amazing gentleman, Mr. Will Jordan. You may remember Will on the Ed Sullivan Show. He was the first to parody and imitate Ed Sullivan and the one who actually coined the phrase, "Really big shooo!" He stands taller than anyone esle you may remember doing impersonations because he also looks like the star he is imitating by using plastics and his genious. Below is a link that will show you a three minute piece of his amazing act. Here he looks amazingly like Jack Benny, Bing Crosby and more.
