But the prize exhibit is a hopped-up character with a nervous twitch in his forefinger. He prowls alone when he looks for prey, and he' s know for his taste for...murder-r-r." The ironic association of a pleasant place or activity -- in this case a zoo -- with information an evil place or activity -- here a prison -- became a common element in information both the monologues and epilogues of each episode.

By the time the Brad Runyon role came around, Jack was already a veteran stage, movie and radio actor, and he had the stage actor's contempt for radio. At times he could be downright cynical about how things were done in the broadcasting industry. For instance, he once suggested that it would have run true to form for ABC to hire a "scrawny string-bean with a thin, asthmatic voice to convey the impression of weight over the air."
