Jack McCarthy grew up on a farm near Parnell, Michigan, and announced at Detroit's WMBC and WXYZ. In the late 1930s he played secret agent Ned Jordan in a Fran Striker serial, and just before World War II he became WXYZ's chief announcer. After serving as a Marine lieutenant, running an Armed Forces Radio station on Eniwetok Atoll, he played the Green Hornet from 1947 until the series ended in December 1952. He later moved to New York, where he read the news on WPIX as John E. McCarthy.
