This is the Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy Show, with guest Robert Cummings.

Edgar teaches Charlie about the brain. Fourteen year old Jane Powell guests. Charlie and guest W. C. Fields are out on the golf course. W. C. loses his place in the script and his line is read by Charlie!

He stood just three feet tall, but his wit was larger than life! Charlie McCarthy was made of wood, but to millions of radio listeners, he was as real as Edgar Bergen - and much, much funnier. Impudent, irreverent, and positively irrepressible, here are 16 rare and classic radio episodes featuring Charlie himself.

The impeccably dressed Charlie McCarthy was as sarcastic as he was stylish. His country cousin Mortimer Snerd was buck-toothed, bucolic...and just as fondly remembered. But it was the egalitarian and exquisitely entertaining Edgar Bergen who brought them to life. Enjoy this Peabody Award winning team in 16 digitally restored and remastered episodes - many of which have not been available since their original broadcast in 1942! Hear performances by Rita Hayworth, W. C. Fields, Harold Peary, Hedy Lamarr, Don Ameche, Dale Evans, and more....

Enjoy sixteen of the greatest programs from radio’s golden age and the Hollywood celebrities that starred in them.
