CELEBRITY QUOTAHOGANS:
 
"Another clever performer on the Los Angeles scene in the late '40's was Jim Hawthorne, who I've sometimes referred to as the West Coast Ernie Kovacs since both men specialized in fresh, inventive sight gags and camera tricks, rather than simply doing radio comedy on TV as other comedians of that time did. Hawthorne looked like a cross between Garrison Keillor and me. After CBS brought me to New York, I understandably lost track of the local Los Angeles scene, and therefore was no longer able to enjoy Jim's creative work."
- Steve Allen, from his book "Hi-Ho Stevereno, My Adventures in the Wonderful Wacky World of TV"
 
"I have been called the Hawthorne of the 90s. Wrong -- there is only one Hawthorne. The way he carried on with his own unique concept of what radio should be will always be an inspiration, though. Also, he has taught me that certain musical anachronisms are truly timeless. I dig his singing, too."
- Dr. Demento
