Guest Star was a 1940 public service radio program produced by the United States Treasury Department. It was intended to to promote the need and importance of the sales of saving bonds. Just like what its name suggests, the show had a large number of famous guest stars which included actors, singers, and comedians. These people offered a variety of gimmicks in like short skits, hilarious jokes, musical numbers, and many more. After a year, the show said goodbye to its listeners.

Sinclair did have good musicians, even if the music was a bit formula.

The Treasury Department produced this Public Service radio program to promote sales of Savings Bonds. The series began March 23, 1947, and the last broadcast was December 26, 1966. We have managed to accumulate 385 programs in very good sound, including the 25th Anniversary program that was broadcast shortly before the series ended....This is a great series, from beginning to end, with major stars of the day, along with music, comedy and dramas. In the past, I've used programs from this series when someone wants to hear something from a radio series, or an artist they know.
