Prairie Home Companion for March 06, 2010
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Coming up this week on A Prairie Home Companion, a mix and match of Joke Shows past with at least one parrot joke, lightbulb jokes, some new man-walks-into a bar jokes, Unitarian jokes, lawyer jokes, shellfish jokes (yes, really!), and the ultra-rare bi-lingual joke. Plus, there will be one joke segment that has never aired before, with all new jokes mined from the murky depths of the Internet. Pat Donohue sings "Ain't No Joke," Andy Stein brings a fresh crop of knock-knock jokes, Guy Noir searches for a punchline, Dusty and Lefty find solace in a joke book out on the godforsaken trail, and a cautionary tale from Lake Wobegon Elementary School about serving greasy sausage pizza for lunch.
Garrison Keillor began A Prairie Home Companion on Minnesota Public Radio in 1969. The show has been in production ever since (except for the couple of years in the late eighties when he moved to Denmark.) Keillor remembers, "When the show started, it was something funny to do with my friends, and then it became an achievement that I hoped would be successful, and now it's a good way of life."
Today, A Prairie Home Companion is heard by approximately 3.9 million U.S. listeners each week on over 511 public radio stations, and is heard abroad on America One and the Armed Forces Networks In Europe and the Far East.
Each week you can hear excellent musicians, and favorite characters like the Ketchup Couple, Guy Noir - Private Eye, and of course Garrison’s signature News from Lake Wobegon. There are also pretty good jokes like this one: A man walks into the doctor's office. He has a banana in one nostril and a carrot in the other. He has a piece of celery in his right ear and a potato stuck in his left ear. He says "Doctor, I feel terrible." The doctor says "Well, your problem is obvious. You're not eating right."
