Latest / The Jack Benny Program — Broadcaster Transition (1948–1949)
The Runaway Violin Lesson
Aired: Dec 5th, 1948. Jack's weekly torment resumes as the excitable Professor LeBlanc arrives to give him a violin lesson, complete with dodged traffic accidents and a discount for insults. Meanwhile, Rochester spins tall tales about Jack's musical genius for an unlikely gig at a Turkish bath opening, and a lingering Thanksgiving spat has Don Wilson refusing to speak directly to Jack. It's classic Benny-household chaos, mediated entirely through Mary Livingstone.
