About this episode
Originally Aired: November 11, 1941 Fibber McGee & Molly #300, "Bergen- McCarthy Visit," Excitement grips Wistful Vista as Fibber and Molly head to the airport to welcome Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, whose new film "Look Who's Laughing" is having its world premiere at the local Bijou Theater. At the airport, Fibber makes a questionable deal with the Old Timer, bribing him with three tickets to walk through the lobby after the premiere and loudly praise McGee's acting performance to impress the newspaper reporters. Meanwhile, Molly observes the scene with her characteristic wisdom, and the couple prepares to greet their famous friends arriving by plane. When Bergen and McCarthy arrive and settle into Uncle Dennis's room at the McGee house, the characteristic chaos of the household begins. Charlie McCarthy complains about eating fifteen butterscotch sundaes while waiting for takeoff, and the ventriloquist dummy's cheeky personality is on full display as he tries "approach number 17" by getting Molly to feel maternal toward him. The stage is set for an eventful evening as the premiere approaches and more visitors arrive at 79 Wistful Vista.
