Alan Young Collection
From a childhood spent listening to radio stories while bedridden with asthma to winning a $3 monologue contest that convinced his father he should stick with “the talking business,” Alan Young’s path to stardom was as humble as it was remarkable. Best known to audiences as Wilbur Post, the owner of a talking horse on Mr. Ed, and as the voice of Disney’s Scrooge McDuck, Young first made his mark on radio with his own comedy program. This collection brings together over 80 recordings spanning more than 41 hours, offering a wonderful window into the warmth and gentle humor that defined his career.
Collection Highlights
- Over 50 episodes of The Alan Young Show, including beloved installments like “Alan Wants to Be a Reporter,” “Elope With Betty,” and “Buying Stock,” capturing the charming, self-deprecating comedy that made him a favorite.
- Rare appearances on classic programs such as Camel Caravan with Jane Wyman and Jim Backus, The Jack Benny Program, and Jimmy Durante shows, showcasing Young’s versatility as a guest star alongside radio royalty.
- A treasure trove of one-off performances, including episodes of Sealtest Variety Theatre, The Tony Martin Show, and even a 1979 Sears Radio Theater broadcast, demonstrating the breadth of his work across decades.
- Highlights from Young’s time in Canada and early U.S. radio, where his knack for creating his own characters and comedy routines first won over audiences, paving the way for his television and film legacy.
