Who was the host of the radio program "The Rest of the Story"?

The Rest of the Story was a Monday-through-Friday radio program originally hosted by Paul Harvey. Beginning as a part of his newscasts during the Second World War and then premiering as its own series on the ABC Radio Networks on May 10, 1976, The Rest of the Story consisted of stories presented as little-known or forgotten facts on a variety of subjects. Some key element of the story (usually the name of some well-known person) was held back until the end. The broadcasts always concluded with a variation on the tag line "And now you know the rest of the story."

From its inception, the scripts for the series had been drafted and the broadcasts produced by Harvey's son Paul Harvey, Jr., who in later years of his father's career also acted as a substitute host. Some of the radio stories were published in book form as The Rest of the Story and More of The Rest of the Story.

Paul Harvey had a commanding radio voice and personality. He shared pop culture before the birth of social media.
