First a look at this day in History.

Then It Pays to be Ignorant, originally broadcast September 13, 1950, 74 years ago.  The first question is, "In what town in Pennsylvania did Lincoln make his Gettysburg address?"

Followed by Jack Benny, originally broadcast September 13, 1953, 71 years ago, Jack Returns from Hawaii.  Jack has just returned from three weeks in Hawaii and things aren't going too well. 

Then My Friend Irma starring Marie Wilson, originally broadcast September 13, 1948, 76 years ago.   After Jane spends their $200 savings paying off the loan on the piano, Irma takes the same $200 out of the bank and buys a half pound diamond!  Joan Banks sits in as Jane while Cathy Lewis was away. 

Followed by The Amos and Andy Music Hall, originally broadcast September 13, 1954, 70 years ago.  Freeman Gosden refers to the show as, "The Mystic Knights Of The Sea Music Hall." The first record played is Frank Sinatra singing, "The Gal That Got Away." The program's guests are Jack Benny and Liberace. Liberace introduces, "his favorite record." It's George Liberace conducting, "The Stars and Stripes Forever!"

Finally Claudia, originally broadcast September 13, 1948, 76 years ago.   It's been a fine day...a fine day!
