The Benny-Allen feud

One of the funniest running gags in radio history was the battle between Jack Benny and Fred Allen.

HERE is a link to a good history of the hilarious rivalry.

HERE is a link to a group of radio shows from the feud.

On one of the programs where they appeared together, they recollect that in their vaudeville days they played Burning Stump, Arkansas. I assume that is a fictitious place (although in Arkansas, one can never be sure).
