Eddie Cantor came to radio from vaudeville and the Ziegfeld Follies, joining The Chase and Sanborn Hour in 1931 and soon becoming the world's highest-paid radio star. His shows opened with a crowd chanting for him, and he discovered Dinah Shore and helped performers like Deanna Durbin, Bobby Breen and Eddie Fisher. He went on to Time to Smile and the Pabst Blue Ribbon Show, and later hosted TV's Colgate Comedy Hour.
