The Jack Benny Program - Lunch Counter Murder (1/3)

In this episode of The Jack Benny Program, Jack welcomes guest Dan Duryea. Following the opening monologue with some sarcastic joking between Jack and Dennis Day, the Lunch Counter Murder skit begins.

True to Jack's standards, this skit, featuring Dan Duryea is uproariously funny. Yet another wonderful performance by Benny and company.

Originally telecast on December 4, 1960, and the FOURTH time Jack performed the "Lunch Counter Murder" sketch in his career (when a sketch was wildly successful with the audience on radio and TV, Jack would revive it over the years). The first time he did it was on radio in November 1946 {as a parody of "The Killers"}, with Edward G. Robionson. In November 1950, he did it again, with Richard Widmark. In Febuary 1955, it was performed on TV for the first time [live], with George Raft.
