Don't You Remember Me?

Originally aired July 27, 1936, this episode of Fibber McGee & Molly finds our duo exploring the marvels and misadventures of the Great Lakes Exposition in Cleveland. Fibber is on a determined quest to find his long-lost childhood crush, Toto Laverne—a swan dancer he swears he went to school with in Peoria. With Molly in tow, the couple stumbles through one hilarious encounter after another, from weight-guessing con men to sarcastic midget performers, and even an unexpected fish fry featuring Ted Weems.

As Fibber builds up the fantasy of a tender reunion with Toto, the big moment finally arrives—only to result in a cringe-worthy case of mistaken identity. Featuring appearances from Harpo Wilcox and the Johnson’s Wax sales pitch brigade, along with musical interludes and plenty of exposition-side humor, this remastered golden-age radio gem blends vaudeville charm with vintage slapstick.
