Let George Do It is a detective drama radio series that follows the adventures of private investigator George Valentine, who uses a classified ad to draw clients. The earliest episodes had a sitcom feel, complete with a studio audience laughing at the not-so-funny scripts, but the show quickly shifted to a suspenseful, tough guy private eye series. Valentine is assisted by his secretary Claire Brooks, aka Brooksie, and often interacts with other characters like Brooksie's kid brother Sonny, Lieutenant Riley, and elevator man Caleb. The show's tone is characterized by witty banter between George and Brooksie, which can be compared to later TV series like "Hart to Hart," "Moonlighting," and "Remington Steele."

Produced by Owen and Pauline Vinson, the radio show aired from 1946 to 1954, first on the West Coast Mutual Broadcasting System from October 18, 1946, to September 27, 1954, and then on transcriptions in New York from January 20, 1954, to January 12, 1955. It was initially sponsored by Standard Oil, and the show featured a full orchestra for background music before budget cuts forced the use of an organ. Bob Bailey starred as George Valentine for most of its run, with Olan Soule taking over the role in 1954. Overall, Let George Do It was well-regarded during its time, and it proved to be a stepping stone for Bob Bailey, who went on to star in the popular series "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar."
