4/24-This evening we welcome " Tex and Jinx's" son, Kevin McCrary to the show to discuss what it was like growing up with such famous parents!

John Reagan "Tex" McCrary Jr.  was an American journalist and public relations specialist who popularized the talk show genre for television and radio along with his wife, Jinx Falkenburg with whom he hosted the first radio talk show, Meet Tex and Jinx, as well as the radio show Hi Jinx and the television talk shows At Home and The Swift Home Service Club. ^{The couple pioneered and popularized the talk-show format, first on radio and then in the early days of television.}

At one point in the 1950's, ''Tex and Jinx,'' as they were known in virtually every American household, had two radio programs, a five-day-a-week television show and a syndicated column in The New York Herald Tribune. They were among the first to refine the format that came to be called the talk show.
