What happens
Gracie Allen tries to persuade George Burns to take over the lead role in a film adaptation of The Hucksters, a novel about radio, after reading that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer wants Clark Gable for it. George doubts he could replace a star like Gable, while Gracie insists he is perfect for the part. Their friends Meredith Willson and Bill Goodwin, along with the postman, are drawn into the argument. Gracie visits Gable herself to get his endorsement. This Burns and Allen episode from the Maxwell House Coffee Time series aired on October 17, 1946, with Gracie Allen and George Burns in the leading roles.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
