About the name
Lewis added the middle initial "Q" to his name by accident while announcing on WTRY in 1942, thinking of Colonel Lemuel Q. Stoopnagle, and kept it because it helped people remember him.
First role
Lewis made his radio debut at age 10 in 1931 on the local show "Dr. Posner's Kiddie Hour," which began his fascination with radio.
Big break
Lewis filled in for Arthur Godfrey on his national morning radio show in 1947, and Godfrey insisted Lewis always be the alternate host, a break that led to bigger things.
A role that slipped away
Lewis said his one screen ambition was to star in remakes of old Harold Lloyd comedies such as The Milky Way and The Freshman, but Lloyd still held the remake rights and he could not get them.
