John Dunning _ On the Air: The Encyclopedia
Goff knew the salesman for Quaker Oats. It happened that Quaker was then sponsoring Gene and Glenn, a series going off for the summer, and the company was looking for a replacement. Lauck and Goff were invited to audition then and there, on the spot. But they were afraid their act would be spoiled by a visual impression {they were in their 20s, playing oldtimers}, so they asked the Quaker people to sit facing a wall and just listen. They played to a broomstick held up between them, representing a microphone, and got the job.
