Baby Snooks
Baby Snooks is the mischievous child character made famous on radio by Fanny Brice, with domestic comedy built around Snooks, Daddy, and Brice's childlike timing.
The Baby Snooks Show was an American radio program starring comedian and Ziegfeld Follies alumna Fanny Brice as a mischievous young girl who was 40 years younger than the actress who played her when she first went on the air. The series began on CBS September 17, 1944, airing on Sunday evenings at 6:30 pm as Post Toasties Time. The title soon changed to The Baby Snooks Show, and the series was sometimes called Baby Snooks and Daddy.
