Theres probably never been a more well-known ventriloquist figure than, Charlie McCarthy. He was created by Edgar Bergen and was his most famous side-kick for many years.
Charlie and Bergen started out in vaudeville but as their popularity grew, eventually switched to radio. They worked on radio programs from 1937 to 1956. When you watch reruns of the The Waltons television show, you can sometimes hear the Bergen and McCarthy radio show playing in the background. This was a typical sight in the 1940s, a family gathered around the radio listening to Bergen and McCarthy.
Charlie is well known for always wearing his top hat and monocle.
He was sometimes a smart-alec and always had a quick comeback. There was a teenage singer on the radio show named Anita Gordon who Charlie had a crush on.
But this was not unusual. Charlie was a little girl-crazy and had many crushes. Bergen and McCarthy had many well-known guests on their radio show including: Judy Garland, Dale Evans, and Mae West. Charlie flirted with them all.
