Air Date: 01.15.1939 ( January 15, 1939)
Plot: + The Jell-O Program Starring Jack Benny. January 15, 1939. Red net. Sponsored by: Jell-O. The gang has lunch at the drugstore, with unkind words for Fred Allen on the menu. Kenny Baker mis-reads a line and stops the show! Phil calls Jack "Jackson" for the first time on the air. 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.

Noto to quibble or criticize this wonderful site and all the excellent work that the creators have put into it, but I'm a huge fan of Jack Benny and have been listening to his old radio programs for decades, and thanks to this site I've been listening to every Jack Benny show from the beginning and making notes on things such as topical and contemporaneous comments on historical events, period expressions and lingo, and so forth. Anyway, I can tell you that the first show that Phil referred to Jack as "Jackson" was broadcast 12/25/1938. Furthermore, Phil calls Jack "Jackson" on the program that immediately preceeded this one, 1/8/1939, and Jack responds by calling Phil "Philson" in a kind of surprised ad-lib. Jack did not seem to notice the "Jackson" on the 12/25/1938 program.
