Fibber McGee and Molly June 5, 1945 Cleaning the Hall Closet

Some of you, especially if you are new to Old Time Radio, may wonder why my site is called McGee's Closet. This was a running gag on the Fibber McGee and Molly Show. Fibber McGee and Molly ran on NBC from 1935 to 1959. Jim and Marion Jordan played the folksy couple from Wistful Vista and were supported by a great cast that included Bill Thomas, Gale Gordon, Arthur Q. Bryan and many others. Harlow "Waxy" Wilcox announced the show and did the commercials for Johnson's Wax for most of the run. In the 1950s there were various sponsors. This episode from June 5, 1945 gives us a glimpse into the cluttered hall closet of the McGee's home. Molly has company coming and she doesn't want to take the chance of someone accidentally opening the closet door and being buried under the contents. Fibber cleans and procrastinates in his inimitable way.
