Fibber McGee and Molly was an American radio comedy series focused on the misadventures of a working-class couple, Fibber McGee and his loving wife Molly, living in the community of Wistful Vista. Created and portrayed by husband-and-wife duo Jim and Marian Jordan, the show was a situational comedy that followed their previous radio sitcom, Smackout. The show featured an announcer, house band, and a vocal quartet for added interludes. Fibber McGee was a habitual storyteller, while Molly, his sometimes terse but always loving wife, provided balance to his character. The series became one of the most popular radio shows of its time, and at the peak of its success in the 1940s, it was adapted into a string of feature films.

Fibber McGee and Molly aired from April 16, 1935, to October 2, 1959, with 1,611 episodes produced. The show began on the NBC Blue Network and later became a staple of the NBC Red Network. In 1957, it continued as a short-form series as part of the weekend Monitor until 1959. A 1959 attempt to adapt the series to television with a different cast and new writers was a critical and commercial failure, bringing the series to an end after Marian Jordan's subsequent death. The series was sponsored by Johnson's Wax, Pet Milk, and Reynolds Aluminum, while notable actors involved in the production included Jim Jordan, Marian Jordan, Harlow Wilcox, and announcer Harlow Wilcox.
