Jack Benny – Jack Listens to the World Series. ep590, 461006

A black and white photograph of Jack Benny, a man in a suit and tie, standing against a plain background. He is looking off to the side with a slight smile on his face, and his hands are clasped in front of him. Benny was a comedian and actor, best known for his radio and television shows in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. The photograph conveys a sense of classic Hollywood glamour and style, with Benny's sharp features and piercing blue eyes on prominent display.

Don takes us to jack’s house, where he gets phone calls from fans to congratulate him on his 15 years on the radio. Rochester brings him down a notch with a reminder about Jack’s film, the Horn Blows at Midnight. Jack goes to enjoy the World Series on the radio, if interruptions from the phone will allow. Mary enters with a letter from her mom. What does her mom have to say about the show last week? She refuses to do a joke, then plugs the fact that Fred Allen’s show comes back on the air next week. Phil plays some travelling music.

Waiting for the game to start, Jack complains about the Sportsmen. Can he get out of their high dollar contract? Don shows up, and this time Jack gets more than just a Hmm… out of the Sportsmen. Somehow, it’s a bit more annoying for him when Jack has trouble shutting them up.

Dennis arrives with his mother, who gives Jack plenty of abuse. Stay tuned for the rest of the teasing as the gang each gets on Jack’s nerves.
