The Jack Benny Program is coming to Antenna TV in October.

Rah-rah-rah, Sis-boom-bah, and all that sort of thing.

Sad news: Art Linkletter just passed away at the age of 97. R.I.P. to a broadcasting legend...

@fromthesidelines Thank you Barry. I heard this while listening to the radio late last night. I appreciate this notification though because it was only by chance that I heard about it. He was a legend indeed. R.I.P.

THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD! I have never seen the tv stuff. I have only hear the radio shows. CFRA here in Ottawa has a 3am Radio/Comedy Hour I listen to at work. I knew that was Mel Blanc! I love how you here voices and KNOW who they are.  Yet seeing them is a treat too!

@CatpurrRobertaBobbi You're welcome. Yes, watching Jack on television is a completely different experience.

[fromthesidelines]

Quite welcome, 'hwy'. Incidentally, the animated figure at :20 was Luckies' advertising icon during the mid-'50s, "Happy Joe Lucky"...

This episode, usually omitted from most listings of the TV series for some unknown reason, was originally telecast on October 23, 1955, the evening after Mary Martin & Noel Coward's unforgettable performance on CBS' "FORD STAR JUBILEE" presentation of "Together With Music" (which Jack enthusiastically acknowledges at 2:50). Andre Baruch, long-time announcer/spokesman for Luckies [and announcer on their "YOUR HIT PARADE" series], is featured in the first commercial.

Thanks Barry. Curious that this episode is usually omitted from the show's TV listings.
