Jack Benny 351103 Kenny Bakers First Show


Listen Later

Jack is missing, as he is getting a shave. The scene changes to his ordeal with the Italian barber. Johnny Green plays, Anything Goes. Jack plugs his latest film, then Mary gets in an old gag of misunderstanding words. A nervous and apologetic Kenny Baker makes his appearance. Kenny sings, A Rose in Her Hair. Such a nice start, and what a stinker he would become in later shows. Jack notices the similarities in his and Kenny's names. Jack answers fan mail. A promising beauty queen wants to break into pictures. Johnny plays, Cheek to Cheek. The play is one about movie studios. Mary is the overworked receptionist. Jacck is the busy movie producer who wants it all, and wants it now. The beauty queen from the fan letter shows up, played by Mary Kelley. Running gags just can't keep from showing up in this humorous peek behind the scenes at the busy movie studio. Trivia Alert. Though this is Kenny Baker's first show, bandleader Johnny Green seems to have already made his debut. Johnny replaced longtime band leader, Don Besser, and would only be on the show for this season before being replaced by Phil Harris. Bonus Track: Fred Allen. 1936. Who Killed Rappaport?
