The Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy Show. Enjoy 235 Comedies at Home or in Your Car
This old time radio series features 232 digital mp3 shows with Edgar Bergen and his sidekick, Charlie McCarthy. The collection also includes three interviews with Bergen and seven guest appearances. All the shows are archived on properly formatted flash drive so that each one may be played using an automobile entertainment system equipped with a USB port (see photos) or a computer equipped with a USB port. All the shows are "tagged" so that a program's image and the episode's title appear when playing.
Edgar Bergen and his sidekick, Charlie McCarthy, were seen at a New York party by Elsa Maxwell for Noël Coward. Coward recommended them for an engagement at the famous Rainbow Room. It was there that two producers saw Bergen and Charlie perform. They recommended them for a guest appearance on Rudy Vallée's program. Their initial appearance (December 17, 1936) was so successful that the following year they were given regular cast rolls as part of The Chase and Sanborn Hour. Under various sponsors (and two different networks), they were on the air from May 9, 1937 to July 1, 1956. The popularity of a ventriloquist on radio, when one could see neither the dummies nor his skill, surprised and puzzled many critics, then and now. Even though the audience knew that Bergen provided Charlie’s voice, listeners perceived McCarthy as a genuine person.
