Jim & Marian Jordon
Fibber McGee & Molly ran from 1935 to 1959. Jim and Marian Driscoll Jordon, small-time vaudivillians, met in church in Peoria, Illinois.
The did two shows for station WENR in Chicago beginning in 1927. In their Luke and Mirandy farm-report program, Jim played a farmer who was given to tall tales and face-saving lies for comic effect. In a weekly comedy, The Smith Family, Marian's character was an Irish wife of an American policeman. These characterizations, plus the Jordans' change from being singers/musicians to comic actors, pointed toward their future.
As the Jordans prepared to sign a new longterm deal with NBC, Marian Jordan's battle against cancer ended in her death in 1961. Jim Jordan died in 1988---a year before Fibber McGee and Molly was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. The show also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - right next to the building that once housed the NBC radio studios where the Jordans performed the show for so long. For most of the show's long run S.C. Johnson Company sponsord the show with products such as Johnson's Glo-Coat.
