Title: buck benny in ensenada mexico
Air Date: 01.17.1937
Plot: + 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.

Air Date: N/A
Radio
Allen became an announcer for radio KFAC in Los Angeles, then moved to the Mutual Broadcasting System in 1946, talking the station into airing his five-nights-a-week comedy show Smile Time, co-starring Wendell Noble. After Allen moved to CBS Radio's KNX in Los Angeles, his music-and-talk half-hour format gradually changed to include more talk in an hour-long late-night format, boosting his popularity and creating standing-room-only studio audiences.[7]
During a show's segment, Allen went into the audience with a microphone to ad lib on-air for the first time.[8] It became a commonplace part of his studio performances for many years. His program attracted a huge local following, and as the host of a 1950 summer replacement show for the popular comedy Our Miss Brooks,[9] he was exposed to a national audience for the first time.
Plot: + Announced as the first show of the series, despite a program dated June 21, 1952 (see cat. #52575). Steve plays a lush piano version of "Imagination," and does a duet with Mel on a tune written by both of them.
