Listen free online with no account, or follow the Laugh Track podcast.
Before television, these shows were what America did on a weeknight. Jack Benny held the same Sunday 7 p.m. hour for 21 years on radio, built his act on being cheap and forever 39, and kept up a famous mock feud with Fred Allen. Fibber McGee and Molly made a running gag of an overstuffed hall closet, and its spin-off, The Great Gildersleeve, was one of broadcasting's first. The family sitcom, the workplace comedy and the catchphrase that television still leans on were worked out here, live before a studio audience.
Your emcee is Buster Pratt, a vaudeville warm-up man who has been working the crowd since 1932: quick, corny, with a rimshot for every groaner and a soft spot for the old pros. Laugh Track suits commutes, chores and long drives, families looking for clean comedy, and anyone who knows these names from their grandparents and wants to hear why they were stars. The main series also have their own podcast pages here, from Jack Benny to Vic and Sade.
