Ep. 175: Archibald Leach

Ep. 175: Archibald Leach

Celebrities always seem to have really cool names. Names that sound great when spoken and that conjure up a feeling of glamor or strength or sophistication. Interestingly, most of these names were not the names they were given at birth. These new monikers were adopted to appeal to an audience. Doesn’t Marilyn Monroe sound more beautiful than Norma Jean Baker? Isn’t John Wayne much more strong sounding than Marion Morrison? You get the idea. In this episode, Jon and Kurt have fun trying to guess the “stage name” of famous people given only their birth names and a few hints. So who was born Albert Einstein that wasn’t the famed physicist? And, certainly, we cannot forget Issur Danielovitch.
