Kay Kyser After Kyser came up with an act combining a quiz with music, he was heard on the Mutual Radio in 1938 and then moved to NBC Radio from 1939 to 1949 .The successful show, Kay Kyser’s Kollege of Musical Knowledge, rose in the ratings. Kyser led the band as “The Ol’ Perfessor,” spouting catch phrases: “That’s right—you’re wrong,” “Evenin’ folks, how y’all?” and “C'mon, chillun! Le's dance!”

Kyser was also known for singing song titles, a device copied by Sammy Kaye and Blue Barron. When the song began, one of the band's lead singers (usually Harry Babbitt) sang the title phrase, and then the first verse or two of the song was performed instrumentally before the lyrics resumed.
