This aired during the "live" version of the series, which aired on alternate Thursdays at 8pm(et). Indeed [1:48], George and Gracie did appear on "THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM" the previous Sunday {March 9th}, where the highlight waas his and George's version of a "Burns & Allen" routine [with Jack dressed as "Gracie"!].

As for 27:03- a fan once asked Gracie, "Is Jack Benny really tight (with money)?". She answered, "Am I stupid?".
