Jack Benny | Hold that Line || Dog Catcher of Beverly Hills | Broadcast: October 27, 1940; November 10, 1940

The cast does a football skit called, "Hold That Line." Mary is out sick and does not appear. "The Blue Fairy Appears To Help Out," or "One Moment Please." The Jack Benny Program was first broadcast on the Blue Network on 2nd May 1932. With his capable cast of supporting players Benny made his show into one of great radio comedy shows. What was so special about this golden-age classic is Benny's ability to come across as a likeable guy despite being vain, argumentative, and a skinflint. People related to Benny and his willingness to often give the best comedy lines in the show to his supporting cast made him popular with listeners, guests and colleagues. This is classic comedy that is still funny sixty years later.
