Plot | : | + The Jell-O Program Starring Jack Benny. February 22, 1942. Red net. Sponsored by: Jell-O. The program originates from "The Presidio" in San Francisco. Mary reads a poem. The announcer on the final Jell-O commercial refers to a "recipe" (with only two syllables!). Jack mentions that the program is being heard around the waorld by shortwave (presumably by Special Services of the army). 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. |
