One of the first radio sitcoms I grew to enjoy was The Life of Riley, thanks to William Bendix's extremely likeable performance as Chester Riley (and also due to John Brown's Digby O'Dell character). My favourite Christmas episode of The Life of Riley is from December 24, 1948, in which Chester tries to convince his boss to deliver the Christmas bonuses which he and the other men are counting on. However, Chester's boss has no intention of doing that and turns Chester into his unwitting stooge.
You can hear the episode on archive.org here.
