Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar was a classic American radio drama that aired on CBS Radio from February 18, 1949, to September 30, 1962.
The show starred Bob Bailey as Johnny Dollar, a freelance insurance investigator with a knack for getting into trouble. Each episode followed Dollar as he investigated a new case, from insurance fraud to murder. The show was known for its fast-paced action, witty dialogue, and iconic sound effects.
The show’s signature element was Dollar’s expense account, which he would read aloud at the end of each episode. This often humorous list of items, such as “50 cents for chewing gum - to keep my brain working under pressure,” gave listeners a glimpse into Dollar’s world and personality.
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar was a huge success, running for over 600 episodes and winning numerous awards. It was one of the most popular radio shows of its era, and it helped to define the genre of detective fiction.
