Granny Clampett's connection with Fibber McGee and Molly

Irene Ryan (Granny Clampett) and her first husband, Tim, were in vaudeville at the same time as Jim and Marian Jordan (Fibber McGee and Molly). According to Wikipedia, it was Tim Ryan that suggested to the Jordans that they include more patter and comedy in their show, which led to the creation of the Fibber McGee and Molly act.
