He looks like an account executive on the 5:25. He sits at a table studying a script. His name is Pete Myers. Suddenly he leans into the microphone and says “It’s 10 P.

He looks like an account executive on the 5:25. He sits at a table studying a script. His name is Pete Myers. Suddenly he leans into the microphone and says “It’s 10 P. M. and now, from the Sponge Rubber Hall - it’s Mad Daddy.”
