(1961) Buttram made hilarious regular appearances on Bob Crane's #1 rated morning Radio show on KNX-1070 AM, Los Angeles, until Crane quit his Radio Job to work full time on the CBS-TV Network comedy, "Hogan's Heroes". Crane kept his 6:00 to 9:00 am time slot at KNX until Season 2 of the WWII spoof because he feared cancellation, which would have left him unemployed. By the end of Season 1, "Hogan" was a top-10 rated TV show, and CBS signed Crane to a multi-year contract.
