Don
McNeill's Breakfast Club began on June 23, 1933. The show was broadcast
nationwide from Chicago. In 1933, "The Pepper Pot" radio program
welcomed a new host. Don McNeill took over the show and renamed it "The
Breakfast Club". The show, a huge success for the NBC-Blue Network and
later, ABC Radio, became one of the longest - running radio programs in
history. The show aired with McNeill as host until December 27, 1968. "The
Breakfast Club" was a morning show that had its share of corny jokes, visiting
celebrities and lots of audience participation. (from
