ROGERS OF THE GAZETTE & OUR MISS BROOKS

Will Rogers, Jr. was an American politician, writer, and newspaper publisher. When he wasn’t involved in politics, he was frequently found acting in movies, television, and even radio. Tonight we present “Rogers of the Gazette,” his series where he plays a modified version of himself. Here he runs the fictional small-town newspaper, the “Illyria Weekly Gazette,” and dispenses homespun common sense and aphorism-filled advice to the betterment of his readers and fellow citizens. Then on “Our Miss Brooks” what could possibly go wrong when one of Connie’s students whips up a new form of egg dye?
