Bully Says: Comics Oughta Be Fun!: Today in Comics History, October 10: Happy birthday, Nicholas Parsons!

Born on this day in 1923: English actor and radio and TV presenter Nicholas Parsons! He hosted one of my all-time favorite BBC programmes, Just a Minute, from 1967–2019 and never missed a single show until his final year.

'Welcome to our wonderful, delightful, entertaining show, with four energetic, clever, and intelligent guests, and greeting all the members of our faithful, enthusiastic, and lovely audience listening on BBC Radio 4 Extra, and on the World Service and internet around the globe, and a special hello to those listening on digital radio while sitting in their bathrooms.'
