Best Old Time Radio Podcast

Best Old Time Radio Podcast with Bob Bro Monday, April 19, 2021 - OTR Comedies Fibber McGee & Molly: Cleaning the Hall Closet The very favorite (and perhaps most remembered) of the all the running gags on the Fibber McGee & Molly program is opening the hall closet door. That beloved closet, and the hilarious results of opening it, first appeared in this episode. The plot: Fibber needs his dictionary from the hall closet. When Molly goes to retrieve it for him she opens the closet door and suddenly finds herself buried in a mountain of tumbling rubble -- all the junk Fibber has salvaged and squirrelled away over the years. The closet routine was repeated over and over again throughout the run of the show -- much to the anticipation and delight of audiences and listeners everywhere. Featuring: Jim Jordan, Marian Jordan, Harlow Wilcox, Harold Peavy, Isabel Randolph, Gracie Allen, Bill Thompson, Billy Mills Orchestra, The Kingsmen Original Air Date: March 5, 1940 on NBC To hear more of the best old time radio programs, visit our website: https://bestoldtimeradio.com Contact: [e-mail]
