Pardon my age, but I believe that was Senator Claghorn, a denizen of
Allen's Alley, an imaginary place regulatly visited on the Fred Allen
radio show, Sunday nights on CBS. I heard it on the New York station,
then called WABC, 880 KHz (or kc, as they were then called).
You might do a web search and find some of the other characters,
among them one "Digger" O'Dell, the friendly undertaker. That was
Digby O'Dell, not "Digger." I know; I listened every Sunday night,
for years. It was after the Jack Benny show, on NBC. The two
comedians pretended a rivalry that boosted the audience for both
shows. It would have been unthinkable to air them at the same time
competitively.
