When You Were Eight and I was Nine

Step into the world of vaudeville and radio’s Golden Age with this delightful episode featuring the comedic genius of Ed Wynn, one of the earliest big-time radio comics. Known for lending his voice to the Mad Hatter in Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, Wynn’s career began on Broadway before transitioning to radio in the 1930s. In this episode, we explore an August 30, 1932 segment from his Fire Chief radio show, where Wynn delivers a whimsical comic opera titled “When You Were Eight and I Was Nine and We Were Seventeen.”

Experience the charm of his vaudevillian routines, filled with wordplay and humor, even during the Great Depression. Despite facing personal struggles and industry challenges, Wynn left an indelible mark on both radio and television and later in life, found success in dramatic roles, earning accolades and a legacy as a Disney legend.
