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 with some key element of the story (usually the name of some well-known person) 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." On the majority of radio stations, it often served as a mid-afternoon drive counterpart to Harvey's noontime News and Comment.
