Randy Hodgins and Steve McLellan’s lifelong love of comedy was kindled when they met more than 40 years ago in graduate school in Seattle. While managing family and professional work responsibilities, they hosted a one hour comedy radio program on Saturday mornings for 10 years on a small radio station in Olympia, WA and also co-authored two books on northwest popular culture – Seattle on Film (1995) and Wet and Wired (2000). Stuck at home during the early days of the pandemic with hundreds of comedy albums, cassettes and CD’s gathering dust on their shelves, they launched Laugh Tracks Legends of Comedy in May 2020, a weekly mini-program featuring a different comedy icon, with biographical bits and a nice slice of the comedy that made them famous. From standup stars, to stellar sketch teams, to novelty music maestros -- they are all part of our Legends.

Sir Lenworth Henry -- better know to us commoners as Lenny Henry -- is one of Britain's true comedy treasures. From an early stint in the Comic Strip comedy troupe, to his own highly rated BBC comedy series, to appearances in shows ranging from Broadchurch to Dr. Who, Lenny continues to delight the Brits to this day. But perhaps his most important and enduring contribution is cofounding the UK's Comic Relief charity and its annual "Red Nose Day" telethon. Now that's something to cheer! As always, find extended cuts in the comments at laughtracksradio.com and thanks for sharing our shows! #lennyhenry,#comicrelief,#rednoseday,#chef
