| Title | : | jacks birthday party |
| Air Date | : | 02.15.1948 ( February 15, 1948) |
| Plot | : | + The Lucky Strike Program Starring Jack Benny. February 15, 1948. Sponsored by: Lucky Strike. It's Jack's 39th birthday (for the first time on radio, he actually turned 54 the day previously). The Beverly Hills Beavers (appearing for the first time) and all Jack's other friends plan to celebrate with a party. Jack isn't heard until sixteen minutes into the show. The Sportsmen sing the commercial to the tune of, "Happy Birthday." Mel (as a movie theatre manager) tells a great joke about using his theatre for mortuary storage. When "The Horn Blows At Midnight" was playing, three of them got up and walked out! The singing telegram routine was heard previously on February 25, 1940. 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. |
