- Scubby Wilson: A reporter and friend of Nick, played by John Kane.
- Sgt. Mathison: Nick's police contact, voiced by Ed Latimer.
- Writers: Scripts were written by notable authors including Walter B. Gibson, Alfred Bester, and Milton J. Kramer.
- Music: Background music was provided by organists such as Hank Sylvern and Lew White.
- Director: Jock MacGregor served as the producer-director for the series.
- A spin-off series, Chick Carter, Boy Detective, featured Nick's adopted son and aired from 1943 to 1945. Nick Carter's adventures also extended to films, with three movies produced by MGM in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
- The radio series kept the Nick Carter character alive during the golden age of detective fiction. While not as hard-edged as Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe, Carter represented a more traditional, puzzle-solving detective archetype.
- Each episode typically opened with an announcer proclaiming: "Nick Carter—Master Detective! A famous name in crime detection, a famous figure in law enforcement!".
- The character of Nick Carter predated Sherlock Holmes in popular fiction, making him one of the earliest recurring detective figures.
