The son of a circuit-riding Methodist preacher in rural Alabama, Pat Buttram became one of America\'s best-known comic entertainers. He left Alabama a month before his 18th birthday to attend the 1933 Chicago World\'s Fair. An announcer from radio station WLS was on hand to interview members of the crowd and settled on Pat as a typical visitor from the South. The interview that followed was anything but typical. Pat made a hit with his hilarious observations on the fair and was immediately offered a job with the station. This led to a long and happy association with the popular \"National Barn Dance\" radio program. During those years Pat met Gene Autry, who took a liking to the young comic and later brought him to Hollywood to replace Smiley Burnette, who had found other work while Gene served in WWII. Together Pat and Gene made many western films and a television series, The Gene Autry Show (1950), which aired from 1950 until 1956. They remained close friends until Pat\'s death in 1994.
