Fibber McGee and Molly presents “Election Day,” episode 260, originally broadcast November 5, 1940. In this NBC comedy written by Don Quinn, Jim and Marian Jordan star as Fibber and Molly McGee. When 79 Wistful Vista becomes the Thirteenth Precinct polling place, the McGees take on election-official duties while familiar neighbors arrive to vote. Broadcast on the night of the 1940 U.S. presidential election, the program also weaves NBC election-return bulletins into the comedy, with appearances by performers including Bill Thompson and Harold Peary. Fibber McGee and Molly presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
