OTR Comedies - Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy Show

Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy -  Guest: W.C. Fields

One of the great all-time comedy pairings during the golden days of radio was that of Charlie McCarthy and W.C. Fields.

Appearing in dozens of radio skits for a decade, and even starring together in a motion picture, the barbs they would throw back and forth created priceless comedic lore.

In this episode W.C. Fields has moved to a sanitarium and Edgar and Charlie come for a visit. The rest is just sheer comedy genius as the two exchange insults at a mile-a-minute.  
Enjoy!

Featuring: Edgar Bergen, Charlie McCarthy, Mortimer Snerd, W.C. Fields, Verna Felton, Ken Carpenter

Original Air Date: March 24, 1946 on NBC
