The Baby Snooks Show (AKA Baby Snooks and Daddy)
The Baby Snooks Show, sometimes referred to as Baby Snooks and Daddy, began airing on CBS on September 17, 1944. It was featured on Sunday evenings at 6:30 PM as Post Toasties Time, sponsored by General Foods. The show quickly became known as The Baby Snooks Show.
The cast included Fanny Brice as Baby Snooks, Henley Stafford as Lancelot "Daddy" Higgins, and Lalive Brownell as "Mommy" Higgins. The character of Baby Snooks originated from a humorous incident involving Fanny's dental issues, which led to the creation of a beloved character that would entertain audiences for years.

Among the Best of Old Time Radio Humor

The preamble description on this collection misses a chunk of information: most of these recordings predate the Baby Snooks Show itself; many are snippets from the 1940-1944 Maxwell House Coffee Time. That being said, these brief 8-12 minute clips are among the funniest skits ever presented on Old Time Radio. The scripts and the two actors, Fanny Brice as Snooks and Hanley Stafford as Daddy are astonishingly contemporary in delivery and content. More than any other OTR comedy show, Baby Snooks has made me laugh. Outstanding gems that hold their value after 70 years!
Ten stars for snooks and her daddy!

I'll listen! Thanks for the rather important addendum. If these mysterious-looking clips are half as funny as you say they are, they're worth it a listen. Thanks sincerely.
