Jack Benny radio show 3/19/44 Dennis Dreams He Has a Show

[@fromthesidelines]

After his return from military service (in the Navy) in 1946, and re-established himself on Jack's program, Dennis DID star on his own radio show that fall: "A DAY IN THE LIFE OF DENNIS DAY" (for Colgate-Palmolive-Peet), on NBC's Thursday night schedule.

It was Jack's willingness to let his cast have featured parts like this that lead Dennis and Phil Harris eventually getting their own shows and fostered the life time of friendship and loyalty each possessed for their old employer right up to the end
