My Favorite Husband
Old Time Radio Show
Introduction
My Favorite Husband was a radio show on CBS from 1948 to 1951 and then on television from 1953 to 1955. The show was based on the 1942 movie, Are Husbands Necessary?. The movie, the radio show, and the television show are all based on the book, Mr. and Mrs. Cugat: The Record of a Happy Marriage by Isabel Scott Rorick.
The radio show starred Lucille Ball and Richard Denning as the happily married Mr. and Mrs. Cugat. Later the couple’s name changed to Cooper because of confusion between the fictional Mr. and Mrs. Cugat and the real bandleader, Xavier Cugat.
The show aired 124 episodes during it’s run and was sponsored by Jell-O. The show always signed on with Lucille Ball calling “Jell-O, everybody!” after the announcer, Bob Lemond, started the show. There were at least three plugs for Jell-O in every show.
