Latest / The Jack Benny Program — Broadcaster Transition (1948–1949)
Spilled Water and Stolen Rolls at the Brown Derby
Aired: Jan 9th, 1949. Jack and Mary crash Jimmy Stewart's quiet lunch at Hollywood's famous Brown Derby, and chaos follows in classic Benny fashion — knocked-over water pitchers, ketchup mishaps, and Jack's signature vanity on full display. The banter turns to Hollywood name-dropping and freelance movie contracts before Jack reveals his latest venture: producing pictures. A breezy, star-studded slice of golden-age radio comedy built entirely on perfect comic timing.
