Everything for the Boys
Holy Matrimony
von
Everything for the Boys is a wartime radio variety program hosted by comedian and actor Bing Crosby. Its mix of entertainment and service-minded material reflects the home-front setting, with Crosby guiding listeners through a lively broadcast rather than a single continuous drama.
The program combines comedy and musical performances, with sketches and songs offering a change of pace from its messages of support for servicemen and their families. Crosby’s relaxed, conversational presence ties the different segments together, while the variety format leaves room for both light humor and more earnest moments.
“Holy Matrimony” is the episode title. The appeal lies in hearing a familiar radio entertainer bring warmth and humor to a program shaped by wartime life, balancing popular entertainment with a sense of connection to those serving overseas.
