Kyser dubbed himself the "Old Perfesser" on radio’s beloved "Kay Kyser’s Kollege of Musical Knowledge". During the war, Kyser’s was among the most popular bands on the USO circuit, where he greeted troops exactly as he had his radio audiences: "Evenin’ folks, how y’all?"
Because of arthritis in his hands, he retired as a performer in 1950. Years after being in the music business, he admitted he couldn’t read a note of music or play an instrument.
