Guy Noir
Created by Garrison B. Keillor

Like The Firesign Theatre's Nick Danger before him, GUY NOIR is a radio parody of old radio shows, the private detective genre, and just about any other target that comes into range. But Guy lacks the anarchy and edge that The Firesign Theatre brought to their satire. And no wonder. Guy appears in a series of radio sketches by nice guy Garrison Keillor, along with Walter Bobbie and the rest of the Prairie Home Companion cast.

Still, Guy is good-natured fun. He's a Minnesota gumshoe working out of the Acme building in downtown St. Paul but is originally from the New England village of (everyone take a breath here) Piscacatawamaquoddymoggin.
