i can't imagine jack benny without don wilson. he was part of the show like ed mc mahon was to johnny carson...sort of a second banana. a guy who had inherent talent but was at the right place at the right time..what wonderful memories this guy has to share. this was only 3 years after jack's death in 1974.

Are there any tapes of the "Town Talk" show Don and Lois Wilson did in Palm Springs in the 70s?

The Irving on the show was Jack manager Irving Fein. When George Burns' manager passed on, Jack suggested he use Jack's which was Irving and Fein helped revive Burns' then flagging career and he stayed with George until George passed away at age 100.

A talk show where people just talked about their lives rather than plugging their latest movie, book of fragrance. What a concept!

The only member of the original Jack Benny cast that he couldn't get a starring show for was Rochester but that wasn't Jack's fault, nobody seemed willing to give a black man a starring role in a radio show. Even Amos and Andy were really white men.

...and look at the shameful way Nat King Cole was treated much later over his TV show...because he was black, he couldn't get a sponsor. What a disgrace...

I'm not sure how long Don's local show lasted in the Palm Springs area. Gisele MacKenzie also had a local TV show in the LA area that was syndicated to some other markets across the US.
