Plot | : | + The Lucky Strike Program Starring Jack Benny. February 24, 1946. Sponsored by: Lucky Strike. The program originates from The Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs California. Guest is author and critic Gilbert Seldes who had written that radio comedy is insulting and harsh. To respond to this accusation, Jack and the cast do the program with "gentleness and kindness." Larry Stevens sings, "Pickle In The Middle and The Mustard On Top," written by John Tackaberry. 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. |
