(From TV.com) Rochester is typing up the script for next week's show: Jack Benny's life story.
The Sportsmen Quartet sing "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby."
Jack begins auditioning actors for the various parts in his saga. He hires a gorgeous young woman to play his first love, and his real first girlfriend to be his mother. He passes on the first young man who's auditioning to play himself as a child, instead casting the pushy little boy who is acting as the kid's agent.
Originally telecast on January 1, 1961. The Sportsmen's musical number was omitted from this version (they originally appeared after Jack left the house at 7:52, with Don asking them if he could hear the commercial they planned to sing for "next week's show". It contained a "comedy" chorus for the evening's sponsor {State Farm Insurance? Lux Liquid/Toilet Soap? Lipton Tea? I don't know...}).
