Did a Google - you are correct on Bendix, almost.

Didja know Jackie Gleason played the original title character the first season,

and that it originally started as a radio show?

"The Life of Riley, with William Bendix in the title role, is a popular American radio situation comedy series of the 1940s that was adapted into a 1949 feature film, a long-run 1950s television series (originally with Jackie Gleason as Riley for one truncated season, then with Bendix for six seasons), and a 1958 comic book."
