Jack Benny's popular program of this week was broadcast from New York, and featured rival radio star Fred Allen's announcer Kenny Delmar filling in for Don Wilson. Phil Harris was the orchestra leader, and regulars Rochester and Mary Livingston, Benny's real life wife, also were featured.

The program opened with a few comments relative to the radio rivalry between Jack Benny and Fred Allen. For those who may not know, by the way, "Hooper" (when you hear the joke) refers to a rating system like our modern day Nielson television ratings. Mary Livingston then did a few local and family based jokes.

Even an ethnic character, Mr. Kitzel, shows up to welcome Jack and the gang to New York. Don't miss his version of "That's What I Like About The South." Thanks and a tip of the hat to Benny Kubelsky! Uncredited, the voice of Mel Blanc graces a Lucky Strike commercial.

Although Phil Harris lays claim to the title "World's Greatest Entertainer," Jack sets him straight. Rochester makes an appearance, with a few comments only he could pull off. After Phil clowns a bit, though, the real Greatest makes his entrance, as Al Jolson joins the show.

With an opening line of "You ain't heard nothin' yet!" Jolie shows up, and dives into the radio script. Who else but Jack Benny and Al Jolson could trade quips about age, money, and girls? Or throw the name "Menashe Scholnick" into a conversation?

Approaching the microphone, Jolie lets loose with a full rendition of "April Showers." Benny says, "Let's throw the script away and have another song," and Jolie obliges with "You Made Me Love You." You dawg!
