  Randy West Johnny O Tribute
Despite father Olson's lack of enthusiasm for his son's prospects as a singer, John's fascination with wireless was nurtured when he and his brothers built a homemade crystal set and the family erected a 60 foot antenna that enabled John to listen to the pioneering stations of the 1920s.
Johnny remained for the new and hugely successful one-hour variety format; for nine years Johnny's was the voice that opened the Saturday night show "from the sun and fun capital of the world, Miami Beach".
Johnny would tell mildly suggestive jokes that dated back to his days as a club singer while landing on people's laps, planting kisses on the cheeks of older ladies, and peeling-off dollar bills in an engaging and frenetic frenzy of energizing pre-show excitement.
