Ventriloquist Edgar Bergen with his ventriloquist's dummy Charlie McCarthy (1967)

I remember seeing Candace Bergen on a talk show after her father passed away, and she said her dad's passing was also like Charlie McCarthy's passing too. That always stuck with me.

We miss you, Mister Bergen and Charlie McCarthy

If you notice, the voice comes out of the dummy's mouth not the ventriloquist's mouth. When dummy turns away from man, the voice changes direction too (following direction of mouth). I think the dummy is alive.

“Your father was a gate legged table!” WC Fields. “If was my father was a gated legged table then your father was under it!” Charlie. 😂😂😂😂

Goosebumps “Night of the living dummy” brought me here

WC Fields loved this little guy

Jeff Dunham cited this man as an undeniable inspiration to all ventriloquists and that Mortimer Snerd is a direct influence on Bubba J. If that's the case, I guess Walker is just a really old Charlie.

Pure genius

In 1978 Charlie died, The Police found Edgar winged in his box, the police got scared when they saw the doll since they conspired that a murderer came to kill Charlie and take the doll, which in the newspapers said that the murderer was Edgar.

I had the pleasure of meeting Edgar Bergen in person when I was a little boy, following Mr. Bergen's performance onstage with Charlie & Mortimer. This was at the Circle Star Theater in Redwood City in 1971...

I bought a McCarthy Doll at an estate sale. And I swear it moves on its own. My dogs are afraid of it.
