The Answer Man

The name of a radio show, which went on the air in 1937. To quote from Tune In Yesterday, "The Answer Man was a radio
show on which the listeners submitted the questions and the "Answer Man" provided the answers-- that was all there was to
this syndicated show. Still, it proved a popular 15-minute entry, supporting star Albert Mitchell, producer Bruce Chapman,
and their staff of up to forty workers for more than fifteen years. ... The show was marked by Mitchell's rapid-fire answers,
creating the illusion that he had the answer to anything at his fingertips. This was almost true--the headquarters of The
Answer Man were just across the street from the New York Public Library."
