The Louis-Mauriello fight

There is a reference made to this fight between Joe Louis and Tami Mauriello in the Fibber McGee and Molly radio episode entitled "Fibber is Sick," aired on October 1, 1946. McGee is ailing because he swallowed the cigar he was smoking when he heard the post-fight comments by Mauriello. A radio announcer had climbed into the ring to interview the fighters. Mauriello made reference to the fact that he got too careless, but failed to delete the expletive.
