Duffy's Tavern w/guest Mickey Rooney 03/02/49 [HQ] Old Time Radio/Comedy

Duffy's Tavern was a popular American radio situation comedy which ran for a decade on several networks (CBS, 1941--1942; NBC-Blue Network, 1942--1944; NBC, 1944--1951), concluding with the December 28, 1951 broadcast.

The program often featured celebrity guest stars but always hooked them around the misadventures, get-rich-quick schemes and romantic missteps of the title establishment's malaprop-prone, metaphor-mixing manager, Archie, portrayed by Ed Gardner, the writer/actor who co-created the series. Gardner had performed the character of Archie, talking about Duffy's Tavern, as early as November 9, 1939, when he appeared on NBC's Good News of 1940.
