Radio Daze: Some Fibber McGee & Molly For Your Old Radio Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another episode of Radio Daze! This week’s episode focuses on Jim and Marian Jordan, better known as Fibber McGee & Molly. This real life married couple premiered way back in 1935 and ran for over two decades until 1956.

Known as much for its rogue’s gallery of supporting characters as much as the title couple, Fibber McGee & Molly served as one of the most popular radio comedies of all time. In fact, it was one of the first to feature its own successful spinoff, The Great Gildersleeve, which premiered in 1941 and ran for almost 15 years on its own. So enjoy the classic wordplay and crazy characters of Fibber McGee & Molly. It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face! So Sayeth The Kendog!
