Fibber McGee and Molly – Newsmaker McGee. ep1423, 571019

A black and white photograph of Fibber McGee and Molly, a couple from a popular radio show of the same name. They are standing in front of a closet that has been opened, with clothes and other items spilling out onto the floor. Fibber is holding a mop and wearing an apron, while Molly looks on with a smile on her face. The overall effect is one of humor and domesticity, with the couple's playful antics and cluttered living space providing a snapshot of life in mid-century America in 1948.

Fibber figures that he deserves to be in the newspapers, but what feat has he done to be in a featured story? He phones the newspaper, but talks to Myrt, the telephone operator instead.

Will he set a worlds record? Fly in a homemade balloon? Has he thought of all the supplies he might need for a record-breaking balloon flight?

As Fibber contemplates other publicity stunts, teeny visits. Will she have some ideas for Fibber to find his picture in the paper? Instead, Fibber thinks his claim to fame is in finding a double yolk in an egg, and he has 50 dozen to look through.

Maybe he’ll have better luck if he goes to the big city of Chicago? How will he do in swimming across Lake Michigan?
