Latest / The Jack Benny Program — Broadcaster Transition (1948–1949)
Jack's Ad Agency Runaround
Aired: Nov 21st, 1948. Jack tries to squeeze in a phone call to his tongue-twisting ad agency, Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn, before heading off to the big UCLA-USC game — but a mouse in the piano, a lovesick Rochester, and Mary Livingstone's needling about his parking-lot penny-pinching keep getting in the way. A cozy slice of Benny-household chaos built on classic running gags: his legendary stinginess, his terrible violin-playing predecessor, and a household staff that gives as good as it gets.
