Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

Back in the mountains of Kentucky, along about that time, the McCoys were feudin' with the Hatfield* and the various members of the two clans were banginp away at each other with their shootin' irons. To carr\ on such a feud properly requires, obviously, a certain amount of dislike toward the people one is shooting at. Jack McCoy doesn't dislike anybody. Nobody dislikes him, either. Today "s prominent McCoy, who 's master of ceremonies on Live Like a Millionaire, heard daily on NBC, doesn't even know what caused the feud between his forebears and the neighboring Hatfields. And in more respects than his inability to dislike anyone, Jack is far different from those earlier McCoys. Most of them were the traditional still-tendin", corncob-pipe-smokin' mountain gentry. Jack's one vice is ice cream, of which he consumes at least a quart a day. (He doesn't care what flavor it is, either, although he leans toward the exotic kinds, like almond-pistachio-anise blends. 1 "Nobody who ever met Jack McCoy failed to like him," says John Nelson, his producer-announcer coworker on Live Like a Millionaire. "That includes men, women and particularly children. The reason, I believe, is that he likes everybody and they all feel it — particularly the youngsters." Perhaps nobody in the entertainment field has ever enjoyed his work more than Jack does.
