Spoiler : The "Voice of America," as he was dubbed, began his career at age thirteen in vaudeville. He formed a team with George Jessel and Jack Weiner as “Newsboys Sextet” in vaudeville (1910-1919). He was a theatrical trade journalist for Vaudeville News from 1922 to 1924. Winchell was the writer of a syndicated column for the New York Mirror from 1929 to 1962. Winchell was writing a regular gossip column for the New York Daily Mirror when he made his radio debut in 1930 on CBS’s "Saks on Broadway," a 15-minute feature devoted to show business news. His radio breakthrough came in 1932, when NBC Blue Network (later ABC) tapped him to host The Jergens Journal, another 15- minute show that mixed entertainment news with matters of national importance. In an era dominated by sober analysis, Winchell was colorful, emotional, and fiercely opinionated, and his top-rated show brought him an unprecedented celebrity and power. He remained on the air until 1957.
