This hit radio series with Marie Wilson ran on
CBS Radio from April 11, 1947 to August 23, 1954. The TV version, seen on CBS
from January 8, 1952 until June 25, 1954, was the first series telecast from
the CBS Television City facility in Hollywood. The movie My Friend Irma (1949)
starred Marie Wilson and Diana Lynn but is mainly remembered today for
introducing Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis to moviegoers, resulting in even more
screen time for Martin and Lewis in the sequel, My Friend Irma Goes West
(1950).
