The Clicquot Club Eskimos

The Clicquot Club Eskimos was a popular musical variety radio show, first heard in 1923, featuring a banjo orchestra directed by Harry Reser.

Clicquot (pronounced "klee-ko") was the name of the Eskimo boy mascot depicted in advertisements and on the product.

Band members wore Eskimo outfits when performing before a studio audience, and barking dogs were a component of Harry Reser's opening theme tune, Clicquot.

A typical show opening went like this: On January 23, 1933, it began on the Blue Network, Mondays at 8pm, continuing that year until July 24.

The Clicquot Club Eskimos are mentioned in the 1992 film A River Runs Through It when Norman unfavorably devalues them alongside American bandleader Paul Whiteman, preferring Louis Armstrong, "Colored Jazz," and Jessie, seemingly insulted, replies: "my mother loves the Clicquot Club Eskimos".
