The Rest of the Story

Paul Harvey

English · Anthologies, Biography & Autobiography

Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story presents brief, carefully shaped accounts of people and events, often revealing an unexpected detail that changes how a familiar story is understood. Harvey’s distinctive delivery—measured, conversational, and rich with pauses—guides each piece toward its final revelation.

The program blends historical anecdotes, biographical sketches, and stories from everyday life. Each segment builds toward a concluding connection or twist, with Harvey’s narration supplying the context and suspense. The title’s promise is central to the experience: a story that seems complete turns out to have another, less familiar side.

This entry’s title identifies a story about Tim Allen, cocaine dealing, and a comedy club. Harvey’s intimate, direct style makes the program feel like a personal telling, balancing curiosity with a lightly dramatic sense of discovery.
