Did you know that William Conrad, the author who played detective Frank Cannon was the voice of Marshall Matt Dillon on the old “Gunsmoke” radio show long ago?
I have heard a replay on the radio of an interview Conrad did once in which he talked about an amazing blooper he made on “Gunsmoke”. Marshall Dillon was talking with a hangman and he was supposed to say, “I can always tell when a man has been hanged by you because he is so well hanged.” Instead he said, “I can always tell when a man has been hanged by you because he is so well HUNG.”
