Happy birthday, Phil Harris — Jack Benny's bandleader, the voice of Baloo and O'Malley the Alley Cat, and the reason my father called guys “Jackson" for his whole life. But I love him best for the radio sitcom he did w/ his wife Alice Faye. Listen: archive.org/details/OTRR... #OTR #OldTimeRadio

Jim Jordan (1896-1988) was #BornOnThisDate. He and wife Marian Jordan starred as FIBBER McGEE AND MOLLY on radio from 1935-1959 (and in 6 films). Their top-rated sitcom helped popularize seminal tropes like wacky neighbors, running gags, and catchphrases. It even had spinoffs! #OTR #OldtimeRadio

THE GREAT GILDERSLEEVE debuted on NBC radio #OTD in 1941. FIBBER McGEE AND MOLLY’s blustery breakout character got his own show, in an early example of a spin-off. Star Harold Peary also headlined a RKO film series — but lost his radio job to a soundalike in a contract dispute. #OTR #OldTimeRadio

"When I was little, we used to go the mountains. And I loved those songs they sang….So when we decided to go to New York, my mother said, 'Do something different. They don’t do those kinds of things up there!'" Actress, singer and #OldTimeRadio icon Judy Canova (1913–1983) was #BOTD.
