It's a Joke, Son! is a 1947 American comedy film directed by Benjamin Stoloff featuring radio comedian Kenny Delmar as Senator Beauregard Claghorn, the inspiration for the cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn. The film was the first American production for Eagle-Lion Films and although it was produced on a very small budget compared to other Hollywood films, it was a box-office disappointment; one theater chain removed the film after less than a week after it only drew $1,000 in ticket sales.
