The show always began with a burst of laughter. "Eleven seconds before air time, Pittman points a finger at Bill Thompson," wrote Yoder. "Thompson hands Fibber a glass of water … Fibber takes a lunge at the clock, gulps the water, and then, in apparent nervousness, tosses the glass over his shoulder. Instead of breaking, it bounces-it's plastic. And on a roar from the audience, they take to the air.
