Baby Snooks 93 Eps


(4.6 stars; 19 reviews)

"Baby Snooks," first portrayed by Fanny Brice during her 1912 vaudeville act, was Fanny's version of the then-time actress, Baby Peggy. Brice later admitted that even though Baby Snooks was a version of herself as a child, Baby Snooks was a caricature of Baby Peggy.

In 1934, Fanny wore the Baby Snooks costume during her time in the Follies on Broadway. On February 29, 1936, Fanny & Baby Snooks premiered in the CBS radio program, The Ziegfeld Follies of the Air. In December 1937, she moved from CBS to NBC "Good News," returning to CBS in September 1940 to star in "Maxwell House Coffee Time." In 1944, Fanny Brice & Baby Snooks starred in their own radio show, Post Toasties Time, which was shortly thereafter renamed The Baby Snooks Show.

It became a favored American radio sitcom. On November 09, 1949, Fanny once again moved her program to NBC, where she starred until her final broadcast on May 22, 1951; two days later, she fell victim to a cerebral hemorrhage, dying at the age of 59.

Not to be missed: Wizard of Oz gem to be found here


# 22 is an hour-long special program pre-empting Baby Snooks to promote The Wizard of Oz at theaters. With Jack Haley away, Judy Garland, Ray Bolger and Burt Lahr and others perform. It is stunning on many levels.

You want comedy - well here it is!
