What is charlie mcarthy doll?

Charlie McCarthy is a ventriloquist doll that was created by Edgar Bergen in the early 20th century. He first appeared on the radio show "The Chase and Sanborn Hour" in 1936 alongside his creator, Bergen. The doll quickly became a popular character with audiences and was the source of much comedy on the show.

The Charlie McCarthy doll was made by the Juro Novelty Company, which was later acquired by the Ideal Toy Company. It is made from wood and has a movable mouth that can be controlled by the ventriloquist. The doll is dressed in a black suit, white shirt, and black bowtie, with a top hat and monocle.

In 1937, a movie called "The Goldwyn Follies" was released, which featured Charlie McCarthy making his big-screen debut. The doll also appeared in other films and TV shows, including the 1960s cartoon "The Jetsons" and an episode of "I Love Lucy" in 1953.

Charlie McCarthy remains a beloved icon of American popular culture and is often cited as one of the most famous ventriloquist puppets of all time.
