Sponsored by "the smooth flavor of Chase and Sanborn coffee", The Chase and
Sanborn Hour began in 1931 and featured Eddie Cantor. In 1937, the
headliners on the show became popular ventriloquist Edgar Bergen and his
sidekick dummy, Charlie McCarthy. Hosted by Jim Ameche, the show
regularly featured Dorothy Lamour, W.C. Fields and Nelson Eddy, along with
the weekly celebrity guests. In 1948, the show moved from NBC to CBS, gained
a new cast (except for Edgar and Charlie) and was re-titled "The Charlie
McCarthy Show", with sponsors such as Coca-Cola and Kraft. The show
officially ended its run in 1956.
