< article > < p >
Old Gold Comedy Theater was a radio show that aired on NBC for one season from October 29, 1944, to June 10, 1945. Produced by the Lennen and Mitchell ad agency for Old Gold cigarettes, the show followed the format of movie-based anthology programs like Lux Radio Theatre. Harold Lloyd, a silent film star, hosted the show, and its focus was on screwball comedies. The series featured top-notch actors, but the 30-minute format led to cuts in humor and storylines. Despite Lloyd' s initial fear of the microphone, critics believed he was improving as the season progressed. Unfortunately, the show was ended after just one year. Today, 30 of the original 32 episodes are still in circulation.
