Joy Boys

The Joy Boys was a popular daily improvised comedy radio show in Washington, D.C., between 1955 and 1974 that launched the broadcast careers of the program's co-hosts Willard Scott and Ed Walker.

[2] Scott and Walker teamed as co-hosts on WRC-AM, the NBC-owned-and-operated station in Washington, beginning July 11, 1955.

The term Joy Boys originated when they adopted a brief song of that title, set to the "Billboard March" as their theme music:[4]

[3] On the Joy Boys program, Scott would sketch a list of characters and a few lead lines setting up the situation that Walker would commit to memory or note on his braille typewriter.

Their parody of Masterpiece Theatre's Six Wives of Henry VIII, which they called Masterpuss Theater had a one-week airing on consecutive nights on KBYU-FM in Provo, Utah, in 1973.
