Speaker 1 (00:16):
Welcome to classic comedy of old time radio. I'm your
host Ron Ecklbarger. Today's Jack Benny Podcast will be two
shows because each one is short. This happens with old
time radio. Sometimes you only get parts of a broadcast
that have been recorded. The first show is the two
hundred and sixteenth episode entitled I Got a Heavy Date,
(00:38):
which aired on April nineteenth, nineteen thirty six. It is
only ten minutes long. The second show is entitled Everybody's
Not So Hot. It aired on May seventeen, nineteen thirty six,
and it is the two hundred and twentieth episode of
The Jack Benny Show. It is fifteen minutes long.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Okay eight oh.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
The Jello Program starring Jack Benny with Johnny Green and
his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with everything stops
for tea. April showers bring May flowers, lovely, fragrant and colorful,
(01:32):
and so next month the flowers of May will be
with us, bringing the same bright, good cheer to gardens
and hillsides. The Jello brings to your dining room table.
Only you don't have to wait for any particular season
of the year to revel in Jello's glowing colors and
Jello's real fruit flavors. Its deep mellow goodness is always
yours to enjoy. No other gelatin dessert has Jello's extra
rich fruit flavor.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's put there by a special secret process.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You'll find that luscious real fruit taste in all six
yellow flavors Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime. So
if you want the best, always ordered Jello by a name,
Always insist on the one and only genuine Jello. And

these pictures?
Speaker 4 (16:13):
You know I got envy you. I'd like to be
in pictures myself.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Well, it isn't easy, Johnny. You know you have to
have appearance, dramatic ability, poise, sex, appeals, personality and a
camera and if you want to go to expense. But
you know, Mary, everybody in pictures has that certain something.
For instance, there's Fred McMurray. You know Fred McMurray.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
I know all three of them.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Now there's a fellow that's McMurray. McMurray. Now there's a

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Who could? I'll be quiet, say Jack, Yes, Kenny, you know.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I've signed a contact to make a pictures this summer.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
To glad to hear it at what company?
Speaker 5 (17:21):

Speaker 5 (17:30):
I'm a little worried about it.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Jack.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
You know you've had so much experience in acting. I
wish you'd give me a few pointers.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I'll be glad to Kenny, Well, what would you like
to know?
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Well, I'm a little weak on dramatic lines and comedy
and character parts.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
And what can you do?
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Or I could make love with a little encouragement encourage him, Jack.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Now, don't worry, Kenny. All you need is a little coaching. Now,
for instance, take a scene like this. Let's see. Let
me think of something. Oh, I suppose you come home
to your wife after eight years in the navy and
you find her in the arms of another. Now you walking,
you say, so, this is what's been going on? A
you've led eight years in the navy separators. When I
get you alone, I'm going to kill you, kill you,
(18:12):
kill you?
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Do I kill her?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
No, she's never alone. Now you try it, Kenny?
Speaker 5 (18:18):
All right, So this is what's been going on. I gee,
you've bet eight years the navy separators. Can I get
you on? I'm gonna kill you three times? What do
I do?
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Now?
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Tear out your contract?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
No, Kenny, look, put some fire into it.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Oh, fire into it? Yes, all right? Here come, that's it.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
And I remember, Kenny, you've been away eight years, and
you'll find your wife in the arms of another. Now
try it again.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
I'll change that. So this is what's been going on. Huh?
After eight years, I find you in the arms of another.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
No, Kenny, A Gable wouldn't do it that way.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Gable wouldn't stay away eight years.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Now.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Ah, gee, this is too hard, Jack. Shall I try
something else?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yes? Sink Kenny? What do you think of Mary.
Speaker 8 (19:04):

Speaker 10 (19:05):
Yes, I have a purple dusk of Wilme steals across
the main holes of my home. High up in the sky,
(19:26):
the little stars climb, always reminding me that off you
wander down the lane and far away, leaving me a
stall that will not die. Love is now the star
(19:51):
dust of yesterday, the music.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Of the gone wa.

Hello, hi Yah, pleasing your questions and comments to host
at CLASSICCOMEDYOTR dot com until next time. In the words
of William a Ward judge, each day, not by the
harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant,
Welcome to classic comedy of old time radio. I'm your
host Ron Ecklbarger. Today's Jack Benny Podcast will be two
shows because each one is short. This happens with old
time radio. Sometimes you only get parts of a broadcast
that have been recorded. The first show is the two
hundred and sixteenth episode entitled I Got a Heavy Date,
(00:38):
which aired on April nineteenth, nineteen thirty six. It is
only ten minutes long. The second show is entitled Everybody's
Not So Hot. It aired on May seventeen, nineteen thirty six,
and it is the two hundred and twentieth episode of
The Jack Benny Show. It is fifteen minutes long.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Okay eight oh.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
The Jello Program starring Jack Benny with Johnny Green and
his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with everything stops
for tea. April showers bring May flowers, lovely, fragrant and colorful,
(01:32):
and so next month the flowers of May will be
with us, bringing the same bright, good cheer to gardens
and hillsides. The Jello brings to your dining room table.
Only you don't have to wait for any particular season
of the year to revel in Jello's glowing colors and
Jello's real fruit flavors. Its deep mellow goodness is always
yours to enjoy. No other gelatin dessert has Jello's extra
rich fruit flavor.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's put there by a special secret process.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You'll find that luscious real fruit taste in all six
yellow flavors Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime. So
if you want the best, always ordered Jello by a name,
Always insist on the one and only genuine Jello. And
(02:28):
now we bring to you our weekly boogieman, Jack Benny.
Speaker 2 (02:36):

Speaker 4 (15:56):
Who told you three of your publicity man.

these pictures?
Speaker 4 (16:13):
You know I got envy you. I'd like to be
in pictures myself.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Well, it isn't easy, Johnny. You know you have to
have appearance, dramatic ability, poise, sex, appeals, personality and a
camera and if you want to go to expense. But
you know, Mary, everybody in pictures has that certain something.
For instance, there's Fred McMurray. You know Fred McMurray.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
I know all three of them.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Now there's a fellow that's McMurray. McMurray. Now there's a

Greta Garbo.
Speaker 8 (17:04):

That's so why you couldn't shine Garbo's shoes?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Who could? I'll be quiet, say Jack, Yes, Kenny, you know.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I've signed a contact to make a pictures this summer.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
To glad to hear it at what company?
Speaker 5 (17:21):
But not in a film?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
How did you get the job?
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Incognito? I told him I was James Cagney.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Oh boy, wait till they find out.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
I'm a little worried about it.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Jack.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
You know you've had so much experience in acting. I
wish you'd give me a few pointers.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I'll be glad to Kenny, Well, what would you like
to know?
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Well, I'm a little weak on dramatic lines and comedy
and character parts.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
And what can you do?
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Or I could make love with a little encouragement encourage him, Jack.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Now, don't worry, Kenny. All you need is a little coaching. Now,
for instance, take a scene like this. Let's see. Let
me think of something. Oh, I suppose you come home
to your wife after eight years in the navy and
you find her in the arms of another. Now you walking,
you say, so, this is what's been going on? A
you've led eight years in the navy separators. When I
get you alone, I'm going to kill you, kill you,
(18:12):
kill you?
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Do I kill her?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
No, she's never alone. Now you try it, Kenny?
Speaker 5 (18:18):
All right, So this is what's been going on. I gee,
you've bet eight years the navy separators. Can I get
you on? I'm gonna kill you three times? What do
I do?
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Now?
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Tear out your contract?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
No, Kenny, look, put some fire into it.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Oh, fire into it? Yes, all right? Here come, that's it.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
And I remember, Kenny, you've been away eight years, and
you'll find your wife in the arms of another. Now
try it again.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
I'll change that. So this is what's been going on. Huh?
After eight years, I find you in the arms of another.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
No, Kenny, A Gable wouldn't do it that way.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Gable wouldn't stay away eight years.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Now.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
