Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod - Martin & Lewis Show "Guest Henry Fonda" (5-29-49)

Henry Fonda (Aired May 29, 1949)


Martin and Lewis were an American comedy duo, comprising singer Dean Martin (as the "straight man") and comedian Jerry Lewis (as his stooge). The pair first met in 1944; their debut as a duo occurred at Atlantic City's 500 Club on July 24, 1946. They worked together in nightclubs, on radio (starting in 1949) and in television and film. The team was always billed as "Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis," which helped them launch their successful solo careers after breaking up ten years to the day from their initial pairing. A radio series commenced in 1949, the same year that Martin and Lewis were signed by Paramount producer Hal Wallis as comedy relief for the film My Friend Irma.
