Latest / The Jack Benny Program — Broadcaster Transition (1948–1949)
Fame Magazine, Page 29
Aired: Dec 26th, 1948. In his final broadcast for NBC before jumping ship to CBS, Jack basks in a magazine honor that Don Wilson can't help but undercut with every follow-up detail. Mary Livingstone arrives winded from a bus mishap and a gift of gasoline gone wrong, and a moving company shows up a full week early, teasing the network switch everyone already knows is coming. A classic dose of ego-deflating banter and perfectly timed silence from radio's reigning comedy ensemble.
