The Jack Benny Program - Guest Bob Hope (2/3)

Jack welcomes Bob Hope as his guest in this episode. The program begins with Jack's monologue but he is soon joined by Hope.

The skit which follows is about the act of Benny and Hope (or Hope and Benny, depending on the time) trying to convince their manager to book them somewhere...anywhere. The show has some great one-liners and it is very entertaining to watch these two show biz veterans, who obviously have a great liking for one another, work together.

This episode was previously edited and runs short, a little under nineteen minutes, but it is nineteen minutes of splendid comedy.

Iris also tured up on Bob's 1981 Christmas show as his cynical landlord {"Come up with a C-note, or you're out on your ASCAP card!!"} in a sketch where Brooke Shields appears as a genie {"WHAT? I, a direct descendent of the original Scheherazade, indulge in crass commerce? How DARE you!!" {vanishes}/"Who the heck is Scheherazade?"/"I think she runs a Lebanese restraurant in Eagle Rock!"}.

LOL. Thanks.

The Secretary is played by actress Iris Adrian. She played quite a few Jack Benny episodes, and played "Hard Head Hogan" in an episode of The Lucy Show ("Lucy Meets The Law"), which you have already uploaded.

Hi Marc. I'm sorry I overlooked this comment. I remember "Hard Head Hogan" from that Lucy episode. She was great. Thanks for commenting.

No problem :-)

God, I LOVE The Jack Benny show. But as much as I love it, I wish I could see more than the occasional public domain episode here and there. I'm kind of a completist. I would love to see ALL Jack Benny tv episodes from the first one to the last one, and in their proper chronological order . I hope for an official and proper season by season DVD release someday. (I already own quite a few episodes on DVD, but theyre all random public domain episodes)

I understand and agree. You would think that an official, complete collection on DVD would be available. There should be a huge market for it.
