		Fibber sometimes had a bitter pill to swallow at the end but things finally came to rest at the McGee house.
		Even Fibber would poke fun at their standard practice of marching the cast before us by asking Molly, "Who hasn't been in yet?" If Teeny hadn't been in yet, Marian Jordan could have answered.

	Fibber McGee and Molly
		Fibber McGee and Molly was a long-running comedy program on United States radio which played a major role in determining the form of what is now called old-time radio, and also a major role in defining American culture of the mid-1930s through the 1950s.
		The famous stars of the show were Jim Jordan and Marian Jordan, real-life husband and wife Vaudevillians who tried several radio personae before settling on the characters with which they became permanently identified.
		The Jordans were experts at transforming the ethnic humor of Vaudeville into more rounded comic characters, no doubt due in part to the affection felt for the famous supporting cast members who voiced these roles (Bill Thompson, Harold Peary, Gale Gordon, Marlin Hurt, and others).
