Comedy and Variety (1943-1947)

Presented to you by Campbell’s Soup, it’s the Jack Carson Show. Created by and starring Jack Carson and sidekick Dave Willock, who got their start on Bing Crosby’s Kraft Music Hall in 1938. In this riotous show, Jack plays baffooned version of himself as a dumb-bell movie star. Dave Willock plays Jack’s nephew, who is constantly bringing him down a notch or two.

Agnes Moorhead also plays a part in this hilarity as Mrs. Freddy Martin. Mel Blanc, Irene Ryan, and Jane Morgan also appear weekly. Dale Evans does the vocals. The “doorbell routine” was a well-known part of the program. So stop ding-dong dilly-dallying and slide your ear up to the radio for a treat!
