 The
Life of Riley, with William Bendix in the title role, is a popular American
radio situation comedy series of the 1940s.
The expression, "Living the life of
Riley" suggests an ideal contented life, possibly living on someone else's
money, time or work. Rather than a negative freeloading or golddigging
aspect, it instead implies that someone is kept or advantaged. The
expression was popular in the 1880s, a time when James Whitcomb Riley's
poems depicted the comforts of a prosperous home life, but it could have an
Irish origin: After the Reilly clan consolidated its hold on County Cavan,
they minted their own money, accepted as legal tender even in England. These
coins, called “O'Reillys” and “Reilly's,” became synonymous with a monied
person, and a gentleman freely spending was “living on his Reillys.” Thus,
the radio-TV title has an ironic edge.
The radio program starring William
Bendix initially aired on January 16, 1944 to June 8, 1945 and from
September 8, 1945 to June 29, 1951. The supporting cast featured John Brown,
who portrayed not only undertaker Digger O'Dell but also Riley's co-worker
Jim Gillis. Whereas Gillis gave Riley bad information that got him into
trouble, Digger gave him good information that "helped him out of a hole,"
as he might have put it. Brown's lines as the undertaker were often
repetitive, including puns based on his profession; but, thanks to Brown's
delivery, the audience loved him.
