Paul Junior."s version of the show was significantly different in that it was taped in advance (as opposed to the same-day recordings Paul Senior performed), and focused on non-current topics such as "scientific developments, medicine, unusual phenomena and other stories that are not directly connected to the day"s news," and often contains "no time-sensitive or topical material." As a result, several stations have either moved the program to less prominent time slots or dropped it outright. Paul Junior. hosted the morning edition of News and Comment starting in April 2008, when his father left that edition of the show. He ended the broadcasts by saying, "Now that"s news." Prior to this, Paul Junior. announced the intro and outro bumpers leading in and out of each show and helped write some of the scripts.
He was the creator and writer for The Rest of the Story, another Paul Harvey feature.
Harvey Junior. was removed from News and Comment without explanation after his father"s death. Harvey Junior. was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2001, primarily for his role as creator and writer for The Rest of the Story.
