Meet Me at Parky's starring Harry Einstein (1945)
Here's a rare episode of the radio program Meet Me at Parky's, a spin-off of The Eddie Cantor Show. It stars the father of Albert Brooks and Bob Einstein, broadcast out of the KFI studios in Hollywood.
Meet Me at Parky's had two separate lives. First on NBC as a 1945 summer replacement and two year's later on the Mutual Network. It was neither a success nor a failure. It was better than most crud thrown on the air as time killer and not particularly sophisticated. Variety reviewed it kindly as "entertaining corn."
Harry Einstein was also known under the pen name Harry Parke. His character, heard here, was Parkyakarkus. Listen Now!

The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson - Late Night with David Letterman - with guest Albert Brooks - Footage Offline 6/06/08
Here we have a pair of Albert Brooks appearances. One on Late Night with David Letterman in 1985 and the other on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1991. Albert Brooks, brother of Super Dave Osborne, was also the son of Parkyarkarkus, a comedic character on the old Eddie Cantor radio show.
Follow this link to listen to some of his classic comedy LP, Comedy Minus One on The Generation Exploitation Podcast.
Albert Brooks' real name is Albert Einstein, Super Dave Osborne's real name is Bob Einstein, and their father's real name was Harry Einstein. Probably the craziest thing about Albert and Bob's show business father was his death. He died in the greatest old timey showbiz way imaginable. In 1958 he succumbed to a heart attack at a Friar's Club Roast of Lucille Ball. He sat at the dais next to Milton Berle and collapsed into Berle's lap. Now that's showbiz, baby.
