There was a wonderfull radio comedy duo, straight man and clown type who did among other routines the one about the reporter interviewing the zookeeper about Komodo Dragons. I think they were "Bob and Ray". Is that correct?

Current movie comedian Chris Elliot (Get a Life, Cabinboy, Something About Mary) is the son of Bob Elliot of Bob and Ray.

Bob and Ray were hilarious, but not everybody understood their humor. One of their memorable routines for me was a sports report about the new sport of 'low jumping'. Instead of high jumping, where a contestant would stand someplace low and try to jump high; a 'low jumper' would stand someplace high and try to jump low.

Bob and Ray were wonderful. I had the good fortune to be a kid watching TV when they did ads for Piels Beer. They did the voices of Bert and Harry Piels, cartoon characters.

One of my favorite of their routines was a radio bit of them doing the audio for a telecast of the most extravagant football halftime show ever created. Only the video (which of course we never see) goes out early in the telecast, so they're forced to describe everything. Ultimately, of course, the sound goes, too.

Could have been inspired by Samuel Beckett, who knows. Or vice versa!

I had two uncles, named Bob and Ray, who were killed in a train accident when my dad was a young boy.

He has instilled in me a great appreciation for the low key humor of these geniuses.

When I was in Korea during the "police action" there was a five minute "Bob and Ray Show" broadcast daily over Armed Forces Radio. It was always one of the hight points of our days.
