The Baby Snooks Show was an American radio program starring comedian Fanny Brice as Baby Snooks, a mischievous young girl who was 40 years younger than the actress who played her. The series began as a comic strip called "The Newlyweds" featuring a couple and their child, Baby Snookums. Fanny Brice then began doing her Baby Snooks character in vaudeville and eventually made it to Broadway in the Follies show. The radio program became a nation's favorite situational comedy, featuring the character's hilarious pranks and antics, along with Snooks' long-suffering, often-cranky father, Lancelot "Daddy" Higgins. The show was known for its lively, humorous tone and style.

The Baby Snooks Show was broadcast on CBS beginning on September 17, 1944, airing on Sunday evenings as Post Toasties Time, with General Foods as its sponsor. The title soon changed, and the series was sometimes called Baby Snooks and Daddy. The show had various sponsors and announcers over the years and in the fall of 1946, moved to Friday nights at 8 pm, continuing on CBS until May 28, 1948. On November 9, 1949, the series moved to NBC, where it aired Tuesdays at 8:30 pm sponsored by Tums, continuing until May 22, 1951. Hanley Stafford played Daddy Higgins, while other notable actors such as Danny Thomas and Alan Reed were also involved in the production. Baby Snooks made an appearance in the 1938 film "Everybody Sing" with Judy Garland. The show ended with the death of Fanny Brice in 1951. They had only made one appearance on television, on a CBS-TV show called Popsicle Parade of Stars.
