Fanny Brice played
Baby Snooks, a character she created in 1921, but didn't
get to play on radio until she was forty-six. Snooks
was the most notorious brat on the air. She tormented
her on-air father, much like the sarcastic brats in
today's television situation comedies. Unlike those
shows, however, it was not uncommon for Daddy to use
the "spare the rod, spoil the child" philosophy
of child discipline.
