Herbert Shriner would never have made it big today. Being affable, knowing some funny stories and playing the harmonica wouldn't be enough to put him over the top these days. He was sort of the Will Rogers of Indiana, if Indiana ever needed their own. But comedy was a different animal back then. He was born in Toledo in 1918, and grew up in Ft. Wayne. How he ended up as a radio celeb seems almost by accident.
He began as a humorist, what we now call a stand-up comedian. He played harmonica on radio programs like a Hoosier version of Johnny Puleo. No source gives a specific date as to his first appearance but it's generally dated to about 1940. He was being booked by the William Morris agency. His first regular spot was Camel Caravan, a comedy-variety program. He started there in 1942. That fits well in the time line since by 1952 Billboard was calling him a "TV comedian." What happened in between was WWII. Herb performed for the USO live and on air including The Philip Morris Follies.
In 1946 he was the star of the "Hoosier Radio Round Up," a radio event that was networked 300+ programs across 19 radio stations broadcasting from the Indiana State fair. The program showcased talent in the Hoosier state. There were appearances by Singing Sam, Herb Shriner, Hoagy Carmichael, Chick Johnson, Ole Olsen and many others. Networked stations includes WISH, WIBC, WFBM, WIRE, WHOT, WHBU, WLBC, WKMO, WASK, WKMO, WKBV, WKBF, WMLL, WBOW and WOWO. He did it again in1947. After it was all over Governor Ralph gates gave him a medal.
In 1948 he got his own radio show on CBS, Herb Shriner Time. The show also had the Raymond Scott Quintet, singer Dorothy Collins, and announcer Durward Kirby. The Herb Shriner TV Show began in 1949 which ran for 2 years. ABC picked him up for a year in 1951 and that petered out in the Fall of 1952. CBS picked him up for a third spin in the Fall of 1952. He did a stint hosting a TV game show after that which ran until 1955. In the 1950s he did some comedy LPs, and an all harmonica orchestra which was an abomination. He went back to the night clubs. He retired to Florida, and was killed in a car wreck in 1970. ~tenwatssblogspot

Space age pop maestro Bernie Green was born in New York City on September 14, 1908. After studying music at New York University's College of Fine Arts, he began working in radio, an experience that culminated in 1940 when he was hired to serve as musical director for The Henry Morgan Radio Show. Given his own three-minute headlining spot on each broadcast, Green introduced a series of original compositions that later resurfaced on his LPs for RCA Victor. During his eight-year stint with Morgan, he also wrote and conducted scores for the Dashiell Hammett-inspired "The Fat Man" as well as "The Clock," which aired on ABC radio from 1946 to 1948. When "The Clock" moved to NBC television in 1949, Green migrated to the fledgling medium as well, and in 1952 was named musical director of the Wally Cox cult-classic Mr. Peepers. His other television gigs included Pulitzer Prize Playhouse, Adventure, The United States Steel Hour, and Caesar's Hour. Green launched his recording career with More Than You Can Stand in Hi-Fi, a wry satire of the current vogue for stereophonic releases that features such absurd moments as Brahms' "Hungarian Rhapsody #2" arranged solely for kettle drum. His sense of humor no doubt landed him the RCA release Musically MAD, an LP commissioned and inspired by the popular humor magazine MAD. But Green's indisputable masterpiece remains 1961's Futura. Conceived for RCA's renowned Stereo Action series, the album is an unexpectedly challenging experiment in electronics and tape manipulation on par with more celebrated musique concrète recordings of the same period. Futura made little impact at retail, however, and Green spent the remainder of the 1960s in television, highlighted by a stint as musical director for the variety series The Garry Moore Show. Beginning in 1968, he also scored and conducted the annual Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants each year until his death on August 8, 1975, at his home in Westport, CT.

Davey Bold is about the funniest comedian I'd never heard of before. He was a mainstay in the St. Louis nightclub scene for many years, and died in the 1980s. There's little info out there about him, other than a reference to his uncredited part in the 1961 movie "Hoodlum Priest, and a mention in an interview with Woody Woodbury.
I actually found this guy very funny in that gently off-color style of 50s and 60s nightclub comics. There are a few dubious ethnic jokes that were acceptable back then, but I think you'll find him a lot funnier than some of the other comedians I've posted before. Musicsnatcher
