The Hoosier Hot Shots brought laughs with its madcap musical antics on radio, recordings and movies. The quartet first gained fame in the early days of WOWO-AM/FM in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and in 1933 moved to WLS-AM in Chicago, where it was a regular feature for 13 years on the Saturday night National Barn Dance carried by the NBC network. In the early 1950s, it had its own show on the Mutual network. The Hot Shots appeared in more than 20 western movies.
