Hyman Jack "Hy" Averback, (October 21, 1920 – October 14, 1997) was an American radio, television, and film actor who eventually became a producer and director.
Early years
Born in Minneapolis, Averback moved to California with his family when he was 9.

During the War, as part of the Armed Forces Radio Service, he entertained troops in the Pacific with his program of comedy and music, where he created the character of Tokyo Mose, a lampoon of Japan's Tokyo Rose. After his discharge, his big break came when he was hired to announce the Jack Paar radio show, which replaced Jack Benny for the summer beginning June 1, 1947. He became the announcer for Bob Hope on NBC in September 1948 and also announced for other NBC radio shows, The Sealtest Village Store and Let's Talk Hollywood, as well as on the Sweeney and March show on CBS in 1948 and appeared as the voice of Newsweek magazine on a weekly radio show on ABC West Coast stations the same year.
BURNS & ALLEN - S2, Ep23: "George's recording contract" - with Hy Averback (7/17/52)
Gracie tries to get George a recording contract. Hy Averback subs for Harry Von Zell in this episode.
NOTE: I thought it a good idea to post ALL of the available episodes of Burns and Allen's first two live seasons on this channel. Many (not all) are available elsewhere, but not in one organized place. I've also done extensive audio and video cleanup, and all copies are from my own personal collection (I've been collecting and restoring the Burns and Allen series for decades now!)
