John Walker Hundley (born July 4, 1899, Hightstown, New Jersey – died April 17, 1990, New York City) was an American musical comedy actor, singer, and, later, a CBS television executive.
On the Broadway stage, Hundley performed in musical comedies in the 1920s and 1930s.
He supplanted Archie Leach, later better known as Cary Grant, who had played the role in the out-of-town try-outs.
[1][2] In Spring Is Here (1929, score by Rodgers and Hart), he introduced the well known number "With a Song in My Heart".
He rose from network announcer to various executive positions in programming and sales, including a stint as editor of "program practices", i.e., program censorship: in the era of live television, he would screen certain performers for sobriety and verify that necklines of women's dresses conformed to CBS standards.
