Latest / The Jack Benny Program — Broadcaster Transition (1948–1949)
Jack's Day Off Goes Terribly Wrong
Aired: Dec 12th, 1948. Jack Benny finally carves out a Monday to relax at home, but between Rochester's backscratching duties, a runaway ottoman spring, and Don Wilson barging in with the Sportsmen Quartet's new commercial, peace and quiet proves impossible to find. A gentle, character-driven episode built almost entirely on the comic torment of trying — and failing — to do absolutely nothing.
