Jack Benny radio show 12/5/54 Christmas Shopping

[@Sisallaboutthelove]

I had this on cassette back in the day, and I still listen to it every year. All of their XMas shopping episodes are hilarious, but this one is golden!

Thank you for this treat, so right for the season. Jack's annual assault on Mel's harried clerk has to be one of the funniest--and darkest--jokes on Holiday commercialism ever.

+firefly1933 I like that Mel's clerk and his wife (Mel Blanc and Bea Benaderet) also played a husband and wife in later life - Barney and Betty Rubble!

Dennis has some of the best lines! “Does your mother have my build? “ “If She did my father wouldn’t need cheering up “!

That show was a hoot, too.

This episode Beatrice and Mel used their real names.

Upon his passing, Jack Benny had arranged for Mary to receive a single red rose every day for the rest of her life.

If you can't laugh at this program, you don't have a sense of humor.....
