Listen Later

A Funny Friday

First a look at this day in History.

Then The Charlie McCarthy Show, originally broadcast April 25, 1943, 82 years ago, Showboat?  Bergen tries to explain shortwave radio to Charlie. Bill Thompson is leaving for Flageria to make a movie. He performs a Flagerian western. Guest Irene Dunne joins Charlie on a Mississippi showboat in Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Followed by the news from 82 years ago, then The Great Gildersleeve starring Harold Peary, originally broadcast April 25, 1943, 82 years ago, Rabbits.  Leroy's going to make big money raising rabbits. 

Then You Bet Your Life starring Groucho Marx, originally broadcast April 25, 1951, 74 years ago, The Secret Word is Wall. Do you know what the Badge of Military Merit is?

Followed by The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, originally broadcast April 25, 1952, 73 years ago, Too Much Change.   Ozzie gets $5 too much change at the Emporium and tries to return it, without much success! 

Finally The Couple Next Door starring Peg Lynch and Alan Bunce, originally broadcast April 25, 1960, 65 years ago, Mr. Piper’s job is threatened.  The theory that Leif Erikson discovered America before Columbus may be a little too hot for Mr. Piper's boss, who threatens his import-export job because it might offend their Italian clients!
