Jack Benny – The Hills Of Kentucky. 340504.

Today we find Jack not happy with his introduction. After giving Don Wilson and Don Bestor a chewing out over it, Mary enters. Jack talks to her about music. Frank Parker joins the fun then when Don Bestor plays, the number is snipped.

The topic switches to the Kentucky Derby, and horse races. Frank Parker sings, Cocktails for Two, but the number gets snipped. Jack reads a few telegrams of testimonials about the show. Don Bestor plays a tune that actually makes it in it’s entirety, A Hillbilly Medley.

The sketch finds Jack and the gang in the mountains of Kentucky. What scandal has the clans feuding? Enjoy the antics of the Mountain Williams. As Pappy Jack tries to keep his clan together, they manage to get picked off, one by one.

PS: In his early days, especially when Jack was still in New York, his show drifted from day to day, and might also be on for more than one show per week.
