Duffy's Tavern is an American radio situation comedy that revolves around the misadventures of Archie, the manager of the titular tavern. Portrayed by Ed Gardner, Archie is prone to involvement in get-rich-quick schemes and romantic missteps, often communicating with malaprops and mixed metaphors. The show features a variety of earthbound but dreaming New York characters and manages to maintain an intimate tavern atmosphere throughout each episode. Regulars include Duffy's daughter Miss Duffy and barstool jockey Clifton Finnegan, with notable guest stars such as Boris Karloff, Lucille Ball, and Marlene Dietrich occasionally making appearances.

The show ran for a decade on several networks including CBS from 1941-42, NBC-Blue Network from 1942-44, and concluding with NBC from 1944-51, totaling its run at the end of the December 28, 1951 broadcast. A film adaptation titled Ed Gardner's Duffy's Tavern was released in 1945, featuring Archie and his regulars surrounded by a throng of Paramount Pictures stars playing themselves. Additionally, a short-lived TV series aired in 1954, co-produced by Hal Roach Jr. In popular culture, Duffy's Tavern has inspired references in other TV shows such as "Cheers," "Archie Bunker's Place," and "Ryan's Hope," as well as numerous real-life bars and inns adopting the name across the United States.

Performers: Ed Gardner, Shirley Booth, Florence Halop, Hazel Shermet, Charlie Cantor, Eddie Green, Fats Pichon, Alan Reed
