The Rest of the Story
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rest of the Story was a Monday-through-Friday radio program originally hosted by Paul Harvey. Beginning as a part of his newscasts during the Second World War and then premiering as its own series on the ABC Radio Networks on May 10, 1976, The Rest of the Story consists of factual stories on a variety of subjects with a surprise or "twist" saved until the end. The broadcasts always conclude with the tag line "And now you know… the rest of the story."
From its inception, the scripts for the series had been drafted and the broadcasts produced by Harvey's son Paul Harvey, Jr., who in later years of his father's career also acted as a substitute host. After the elder Harvey's death on February 28, 2009, ABC radio host Doug Limerick was chosen as the show's new host.[1]
The Rest of the Story was canceled after three weeks with Limerick as host. Replacing the feature was The Huckabee Report, a commentary program hosted by Mike Huckabee.[2]
