The Jack Benny Program. (March 28, 1948)
“The Jack Benny Program” (March 28, 1948) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Kathy Fuller-Seeley (guest post)* Jack Benny Radio’s most iconic comedian, Jack Benny performed for 23 years on NBC (1932-1948) and then CBS (1949-1955). His voice was as familiar to listeners as those of President Franklin Roosevelt or crooner Bing Crosby. Supported by his cast of zany characters, Benny and his comedy/variety program became an American institution, beloved by millions who tuned in every Sunday nights at 7:00 pm. First sponsored by Canada Dry Ginger Ale and debuting on the NBC Blue network on May 2, 1932, the radio show actually began as a twice-weekly half-hour musical program (with tunes sung by Ziegfeld Follies chanteuse Ethel Shutta accompanied by her well-known husband George Olsen’s orchestra) interspersed with brief monologues by Jack Benny. Benny (born Benjamin Kubelsky, February 14, 1894 in Waukegan, Illinois) was a veteran performer, who had under his belt a 20-year career as violinist-turned-stand-up comedian in vaudeville, Broadway revues and movies. His Midwestern-inflected, easy-going “master of ceremonies” style of humor suited the intimacy of radio, and he assumed the transition to the new medium would be easy. He found to his horror, however, by the fourth of his Canada Dry broadcasts, he had run out of old stage monologues to recycle. He quickly brought in vaudeville writer Harry Conn. Together, Benny and Conn (who’d be with the show for four years) developed a fresh humor, a fourth-wall-breaking workplace situation comedy, in which Jack the host traded banter and barbs with the announcer, band leader and singer, in their convoluted joint efforts to put on a radio show. -
