Page "Fibber McGee and Molly" Paragraph 13

Marian Jordan took a protracted absence from the show from November 1937 to April 1939 to deal with a lifelong battle with alcoholism, although this was attributed to " fatigue " in public statements at the time.

The show was retitled Fibber McGee and Company during this interregnum, with scripts cleverly working around Molly's absence ( Fibber making a speech at a convention, etc .).

Comedienne ZaSu Pitts appeared on the Fibber McGee and Company show, as did singer Donald Novis.

In January 1939, the show moved from NBC Chicago to the new NBC West Coast Radio City in Hollywood.
