In 1926, the Chicago Tribune published Sam ' n ' Henry, containing a selection of 25 of the scripts Correll and Gosden wrote for the first two months of their radio series ( judging from the pages of the Chicago Tribune quoted in chapter 23, these are from among the 31 episodes broadcast up to February 19th, 1926 ).

In 1926 and 1927, Gosden and Correll also recorded some of their Sam ' n ' Henry routines for Victor Records ( rewritten and shortened to about three minutes ), and in the first two months of 1927, they performed as Sam ' n ' Henry in at least three Chicago theaters.
