Candy Matson YUkon 2-8209 is a radio program on
NBC West Coast that aired from June 29, 1949, to May 20, 1951. It centered on
Candy Matson, a female private investigator with a wry sense of humor and a
penthouse on Telegraph Hill in San
Francisco. The program was notable for having a
striking female character "without a trace of squeamishness" as well
as a veiled gay character in Candy's best friend Rembrandt Watson.
In addition to the show being set in San
Francisco, it was produced at San Francisco Radio
City.
The aftermath of a 1950 episode illustrated the program's
popularity. A newspaper story related: "It seems that during the closing
moments of the last Monday's sequence, Candy is in an aircraft repeating the
'Twenty-third Psalm' as the plane crashes into a lake. At that point the show
ends. And at that point the switchboard at Radio City
started lighting up like a Christmas tree. More than 800 calls were received
shortly after the program signed off. All of them wondering what happened to
their heroine."
