The sound effects artists on the show, Tom Keith and Fred Newman, primarily used mouth sounds for their effects, supplemented by props. Keith engineered the first two seasons of the show and then joined the cast, working until he retired in 2008. Newman took over full-time after Keith left the show. Barack Obama recorded a telephone call into the show, which ran on the Saturday broadcast, and Keillor performed his last "Lives of the Cowboys" sketch as regular host, with regulars Scott, Russell, and Newman, and including a series of duets with the guests Masse, O'Donovan, Jarosz, DiGiallonardo, and Watkins.
Music was a main feature of the program; the show was a significant outlet for American folk music of many genres, especially country, bluegrass, blues, and gospel, but it also had guest performers from a wide variety of other styles of music, including classical, opera, and music from a number of different countries. The country musician and former record company executive Chet Atkins appeared on the show many times, as did singer-songwriters Mark Knopfler and Jeff Lang. Folk/gospel duo Robin and Linda Williams had been regular guests since 1976, and often join Keillor and another female performer, often Jearlyn Steele, to form "The Hopeful Gospel Quartet". Peter Ostroushko, Greg Brown, Jean Redpath, and Prudence Johnson, among others, were recurring guests on the program between 1974 and 1987. The Wailin' Jennys and Andra Suchy were also recurring guests, and when the show travelled, Keillor generally featured local musicians and acts. After researching the Grand Ole Opry for an article, Keillor became interested in doing a variety show on the radio.

The second episode featured the first performance on the show by Butch Thompson, who became house pianist. Thompson stayed with the program until 1986 and frequently performed on the show until its 2016 conclusion. I have given up suffering in my old age. I don’t hang out with boring people or conspiracy hobbyists or people who use obscenities as punctuation. I don’t pay a large sum of money to be crammed into a space designed for children.
Take your time to read those puns and riddles where you ask a question with answers, or where the setup is the punchline. They come back a little later and say the same thing, "Book, book, book." So she gives them three more books. They come back at four o'clock, and say, "Book, book, book." She gives the books to them but she decides to follow them. And she follows them down to a pond where they are tossing the books to a frog who looks at the books and says, "Reddit, reddit, reddit."

A Prairie Home Companion aired on Saturdays from the Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minnesota; it was also frequently heard on tours to New York City and other U.S. cities. The show is known for its musical guests, especially folk and traditional musicians, tongue-in-cheek radio drama, and relaxed humor. Keillor's wry storytelling segment, "News from Lake Wobegon," was the show's best-known feature during his long tenure. He and his wife Jenny Lind Nilsson live in Minneapolis, not far from the YMCA where he was sent for swimming lessons at age 12 after his cousin drowned, and he skipped the lessons and went to the public library instead and to a radio studio to watch a noontime show with singers and a band.
Lena sent Ole to a sex therapist and Ole came home and went out to the barn and he was singing a love song to his John Deere because the therapist said, "You've got to do something sexy to attract her." There was a girl so thin that when she swallowed an olive, four guys left town. If the history of the automobile were like the history of the computer, a Rolls-Royce today would cost $100,nit would get a million miles to the gallon, and every few months, for no reason, it would run into a tree. An orchestra is rehearsing a piece in which the tuba has a solo after 84 bars rest. At the point where the tuba should start the solo, nothing happens.
Mark Benninghofer joined the cast as a substitute actor for a brief time after Russell broke his ankle in February 2009, forcing him to take a month of medical leave. Erica Rhodes had been an occasional guest on the show, beginning in 1996 when she was 10 years old. Serena Brook joined the cast in October 2016 when Chris Thile became host.
Actress Sue Scott, Tim Russell , and sound-effects wizard Tom Keith will be on hand, along with the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, led by pianist Richard Dworsky. And as always, we'll catch up on the news from Lake Wobegon during Keillor's signature monologue. The following two jokes are by the comedian Emo Philips. So a dog went into a bar and said, "Hey, look at me, a talking dog. How about a drink for a talking dog?" The bartender said, "Sure. The toilet's down the hall, first door to the right. Ole heard voices from down in his pond and he went to check and found a bunch of young women skinny-dipping there.
People don't tell jokes the way they used to. A blonde wanted to buy personalized license plates but she couldn't afford them. I was about six, and I was playing one day, and I saw the cellar door open -- just a crack. Now ever since I could remember, my parents had always told me, "Emo, whatever you do... don't go near the cellar door." But I had to see what was on the other side, if it killed me. So I went to the cellar door, and I pushed it and walked through, and I saw strange, wonderful things, things I had never seen before, like trees, grass, flowers, the sun . A man is seated next to a woman on a plane, and they get into a conversation.
The guy says, "I just got out of prison for killing my wife. Cut her up with an ax." The woman says, "Oh, so you're single." So there was the robber who broke into the public radio station and stole a hundred thousand dollars worth of pledges. The film, which makes no reference to Lake Wobegon, is of feature length, with its financing provided by GreeneStreet Films, River Road Entertainment, and local Minnesota sources. In addition, Meryl Streep was nominated for an International Press Academy-Satellite Awards for Best Supporting Actress , and won the National Society of Film Critics Awards for the same category. While the July 2 Hollywood Bowl performance was the last regular episode of A Prairie Home Companion, Garrison Keillor also hosted a final live performance titled "The Minnesota Show" at the Minnesota State Fair on September 2, 2016, including the last-ever "Guy Noir" and "News from Lake Wobegon" segments. Talking about sociology did not seem like the way to begin.
They all screamed and went down to the deep end where the water was up to their necks.nOne of the women shouted, "We're not coming out until you leave!" The old man said, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked. I came here to feed the alligator." The only time you hear "Jesus Christ" in a Unitarian church is when someone falls down the stairs. I was on the 18th green yesterday and I hooked the ball onto the highway right through the window of a school bus which swerved into a ditch and burst into flames. Obama and Jintao walk into a bar; A patron says to the bartender "That's Barack! Who's with him?" Bartender replies "Yes." The only way I can communicate with my kids is by using Facebook.
Minnesota used to produce computers and semiconductors but then Apple and Microsoft took the business away, and now our state produces 45 million turkeys a year, which means that in early October, there is a possibility that the birds could rise up and take over. Aversion to misery is one aspect of aging and another is feeling oppressed by material possessions. Too many books, pictures, shirts, souvenirs, gadgets, and gizmos. I could go through my closet and dispose of two-thirds of it. All I need are some jeans, black T-shirts, a few white shirts, and about six suits.
Thile's band Punch Brothers performed on the February 7 show. Thile was named permanent host of the show in late June 2015, and took over as permanent host on October 15, 2016. As a Minnesotan, I’m aware that my state is the No. 1 producer of turkeys, an ugly ill-tempered bird with a sharp beak and a single-digit IQ and no redeeming qualities except the meat.

While much of the show is directed toward radio comedy, a portion is usually devoted to some more sentimental and sometimes dark stories put together by Keillor and others. The program occasionally also features political satire.
