  George Gobel
George Leslie Gobel (May 20, 1919 - February 24, 1991) was an American comedian, born in Chicago, Illinois, and known as Lonesome George.
His comedy routines were mainly humorous stories about things that had supposedly happened to him (and his wife "Alice"), and they often involved word play, such as spoonerisms ("in one swell foop").
George Gobel is interred in the San Fernando Mission Cemetery in Mission Hills, Los Angeles, California.

 "The George Gobel Show" (1954)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
The general format for the 30-minute shows was to have George Gobel do a monologue followed by sketches, the best one centering on George's wife "Old Weird Alice." Alice was George's wife in real life, but on TV an actress played the part.
What really sold George's monologues were the interjections thrown in with good timing such as "Well, I'll be a dirty bird," which became a popular saying throughout the nation while George was on the tube.
George could also play guitar and warble a few songs which like his monologues tended to be corny but cute.

He wins his wife back through a series of unexpected plot twists, not least of which is the inspiration he draws from viewing a John Wayne picture (Wayne appears as himself, unbilled).
Produced by Gobel's own Gomalco company, I Married a Woman was lensed in fl-and-white, except for the Technicolor John Wayne sequences; the film was slated to be released by RKO Radio, but the death of that company redirected the film to the distribution facilities of Universal-International.
