It’s the second show of the season and Don gives Jack a hard time about being nervous last week. In a candid moment, Jack tells secrets about Eddie Cantor, and other celebrities. The recording of the past show doesn’t exist, but if the reviews are correct, it might just be a good thing. What do i mean?

Mary arrives and she reads reviews about last weeks’s show. Glowing for the charming Mary, but not so much for Jack. Phil is synical with Jack about his aledged pay raise, then plays, Am I in Love.

More glowing reviews are shared, about Don, and the charming Mary, but not much on Jack. Kenny enters in good spirits. He revels in his new found vices after kissing Mary last week. Andy Divine calls in with a sore throat and a cold. Who knew? At least Andy has some encouraging words of support for Jack. Kenny sings, Whisper in the Dark.

Jack announces the play, but is interupted by Schlepperman. Next, Abe Lyman interrupts and is disgruntled over losing the band leader job to Phil for the season. Finally, Phil plays into Don’s final commercial.
