 Thrilling Days of Yesteryear : Thrilling Days of Yesteryear
Harris had married actress-singer Alice Faye in 1941—Faye was a major motion picture star who specialized in musicals, and many of the films she had made for 20th Century Fox (On the Avenue, Alexander’s Ragtime Band) were huge hits at the box-office.
For Harris’ new show, his hard-drinking playboy image was toned down somewhat; I assume it was due to the fact that he was now playing a father figure (of sorts) and that that type of carousing behavior would be frowned upon by blue-nosed listeners.
Phil is forced to admit to the kids that Santa will probably be arriving too late for them to see him, and he starts to tell them the story of “The Night Before Christmas” as consolation.

Both the womanizing and drinking aspects of the "public" Harris were allowed to lapse on his own radio series, The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show, in which he co-starred from 1946 to 1954 with his second wife, screen star Alice Faye.
Now Harris was depicted as a rumbly-voiced, good-natured schmo, who was easily outclassed intellectually by his wife and his two daughters.
While Phil Harris' off-screen personality was very much like his laid-back, genial stage character, he was a man of definite likes and dislikes: one of the latter was the Broadway musical The Music Man, which was written for Harris but which he turned down flat, steadfastly refusing to appear even in road-company or revival stagings.
