Fibber McGee and Molly premiered in 1935. The
program struggled in the ratings until 1940, when it became a national
sensation. Within three years, it was the top-rated program in America. Few
radio shows were more beloved than Fibber McGee and Molly. The programâs
lovable characters included Mayor LaTrivia, Doc Gamble, Mrs. Uppington, Wallace
Wimple, Alice Darling, Gildersleeve, Beulah, Myrt, and the Old Timer. 79
Wistful Vista was one of Americaâs most famous addresses and Mollyâs warning to
Fibber not to open the hall closet door (and his subsequent decision to do it)
created one of radioâs best remembered running gags that audiences expected
each week. Jim Jordan (Fibber) was born on a farm on November 16, 1896, near
Peoria, Illinois. Marian Driscoll (Molly), a coal minerâs daughter, was born in
Peoria on November 15, 1898.
