Plot | : | The Lucky Strike Program Starring Jack Benny. May 25, 1947. Sponsored by: Lucky Strike. The last show of the season. Jack puts a clothespin on his nose and visits the folks down in "Benny's Boulevard." The question is, "Is Fred Allen or Jack Benny the better comedian?" Artie Auerbach appears as "Mr. Nussbaum!" Guest Fred Allen appears as one of the residents of the "Boulevard." Jack introduces Jack Paar, who will be his summer replacement. A similar skit was heard on the program of March 17, 1946 (see cat. #47128). The Jack Benny Program was first broadcast on the Blue Network on 2nd May 1932. With his capable cast of supporting players Benny made his show into one of great radio comedy shows. What was so special about this golden-age classic is Benny's ability to come across as a likeable guy despite being vain, argumentative, and a skinflint. People related to Benny and his willingness to often give the best comedy lines in the show to his supporting cast made him popular with listeners, guests and colleagues. This is classic comedy that is still funny sixty years later. |
