The Martin and Lewis Show was a radio comedy-variety program starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. The show featured an opening song by Martin, along with some verbal slapstick, a guest appearance from a Hollywood star, more antics from Lewis and a closing number by Martin. The program was a mix of comedy and music, showcasing Martin's crooner talents and Lewis's silly humor. The chemistry between the two performers was a key factor in the show's success, as they played off of each other's strengths to create a unique and entertaining listening experience.

The show was originally broadcast on the NBC Radio Network from April 3, 1949, to July 14, 1953. Although it faced some negative reviews and struggled to find sponsors during its early years, it eventually gained sponsorship from Chesterfield cigarettes and Anacin. The program's popularity grew, winning the title of Favorite Radio Comedy Show in Radio-TV Mirror magazine's 1952 poll. In addition to Martin and Lewis, the show featured regular appearances from Ben Alexander, Sheldon Leonard, Florence MacMichael, The Skylarks, and Mary Hatcher. Notable comedy writers Norman Lear and Ed Simmons contributed to the program throughout its run.
