My Favorite Husband

My Favorite Husband was a radio program on CBS Radio. The show starred Lucille Ball and Richard Denning as Liz and George Cooper (Liz and George Cugat in early episodes). The couple live at 321 Bundy Drive, and are billed as "two people who live together and like it." The main sponsor was Jell-O, and an average of 3 "plugs" for Jello were made in each episode. The program ran from 1948 through 1951, throughout which 124 episodes were aired.

Many episodes inspired I Love Lucy episodes. The 1948 episode entitled "Giveaway Program" inspired the I Love Lucy episode called "Redecorating," some lines being exactly the same.

When Lucille was asked to do a television show, CBS insisted Richard Denning continued to be her costar. However, she said that she would not do a husband-and-wife sitcom without her real-life husband Desi Arnaz being the husband. The network reluctantly agreed.

"The Bob Hope show"

Bob Hope career in broadcasting spanned sixty-four years and included a long association with NBC. Hope made his network radio debut in 1937 on NBC. His first regular series for NBC Radio was the Woodbury Soap Hour. A year later The Pepsodent Radio Show Starring Bob Hope began, and would run through 1953.

The Bob Hope Show was similar to the Bing Crosby Show. Like Crosby, he came to radio early and stayed late. He shared with Crosby an ability with words, a glibness, a keen intelligence. They did not however share their styles. Crosby on the air was slow and mellow: Hope was a machine gun, constantly firing off jokes.©2006 OTRCAT INC - All Rights Reserved.
