Jack Benny Program: Jack at the Supermarket

Rochester beat Jack in gin rummy and has taken the afternoon off to play golf, leaving Jack stuck with the household chores. Jack finds out how Rochester cheated and uses it to his advantage. Don Wilson and Dennis Day come to visit, and Dennis sings a song.

Jack leaves for the supermarket, where he encounters Frank Nelson as a salesman. Jack's stingy stage character is shown when he sees a table of free samples of cake.

Did mary never appear in jacks tv shows or was she just in radio?

[jenny1340]

@punkme69 She had a severe case of stage freight, so she only appeared in the TV episodes that were filmed instead of on live shows. But even when she was in radio she sometimes fainted right after a show, or she had to have a sub read her lines in both radio and TV.

You ALWAYS saw Frank Nelson coming from a mile away...and you still laugh every damn time.

I wonder what Mr. Benny would think of today's so-called stars?

Golden. Frank Nelson.

I sure do miss the talent we used to have. The programming, the personalities, the writers and scripts just don't exist anymore.

LMAO! I knew Frank Nelson would be somewhere in this program. He is such a riot and is always harassing Jack Benny.

This is one of the funniest Jack Benny Program shows I've ever seen. Thanks much for sharing it with us.

Rochester...the dude was AMAZING! And look at Jack! That outfit predates Carol Burnett by YEARS!
