Mostel claimed he had been promised a live audience, and the available studio was too small to hold an audience.<ref>[http://www.dumontnetwork.com/a2.html DuMont historical website]</ref> The setting was a radio station, a set at the Wanamaker Studios. The 1948 show is not to be confused with a 15-minute show in 1951-1952, also called ''Off the Record'', aired from DuMont station [[WTTG]] in Washington, DC. This latter show, hosted by Art Lamb and Aletha Agee, featured singers lip-synching to current pop songs, and is on YouTube.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IafBv3AUdgE 1951-52 episode on YouTube]</ref>
