(3.3 estrellas; 3 reseñas)

Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy were a beloved duo in the world of radio entertainment. Edgar Bergen, born in 1903, was known as Radio's Greatest Ventriloquist, captivating audiences with his comedic timing and the charming personality of his puppet, Charlie McCarthy. Their show aired from December 17, 1937, to July 1, 1956, and featured a variety of characters, including the slow-witted Mortimer Snerd and the flirtatious Effie Klinker.

Their unique blend of humor and ventriloquism made them a staple of American radio, and they are often credited with diverting listeners from Orson Welles' infamous 'War of the Worlds' broadcast in 1938. Bergen's ability to create memorable characters and witty dialogue ensured their lasting popularity.

In addition to their radio success, Bergen made numerous television appearances and starred in films, leaving a legacy that continues to entertain audiences today. Edgar Bergen passed away in 1978, but his influence on comedy and ventriloquism remains significant.

The routines between Charlie McCarthy and W.C. Fields are classics. Although Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy were the 'stars', Don Ameche, Dorothy Lamour, and Nelson Eddy were regulars. There was usually a singer - often operatic to fill out the program.
