The Peanut Gallery Somewhere back in the era of grainy black-and-white TV, there was a Saturday kid's show called ""Riddle Griddle."" It was hosted by Jimmy Valentine, who is now in the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame. The show had bleachers where the kids sat, like the ""Peanut Galleries"" of Mickey Mouse and Howdy Doody. The kids brought a riddle to the show and Valentine, who loved riddles, would try to solve them. If he failed, the kid got some sort of little prize. So, one Saturday, this kid was supplied with a risque riddle by an older sibling or (God forbid) a father or uncle. The little kid possibly had a very vague idea about the riddle but he stood up and read it. Remember, this was before video tape and 8 second delays. ""Why is a woman like a frying pan?"" Valentine was stumped. ""So, why is a woman like a frying pan?"" The kid responds, ""They both have to be hot before you stick in the meat."" All over Minneapolis and St. Paul, TV screens went dark. The show never aired again.
