January 18, 1942 - This episode was broadcast two days after the sudden death of Jack Benny's co-star Carole Lombard. The episode is all music.

I know this is the wrong day, but we'll get it straitened out later this week!

Don announces that Don Juan, that answer to a maiden's prayer... Jack Benny. Is there an ulterior motive for the image of a lady's man? Phil enters to talk about sophisticated, blaze, women... er... make that blasé women. Mary is critical of the class of women that Jack has allegedly been dating. Even Kenny enters with woman trouble of his own. Jack gets right to announcing the play, but is interrupted as the cast challenge him for not announcing the play last week. Instead of dwarves, the guys will be gangsters, and Jack calls attention to the fact that Walt Disney is in the audience tonight. Kenny Baker sings, One Song.

As the curtain closed on 1949, Jack Benny had his most lucrative year to date. CBS was now the number one network in the country, and both were poised for big things in the oncoming TV era. Benny's January 1950 rating would rise again, to 25.6. This brings our look at December of 1949 with Jack Benny to a close. Although we'll be moving on you shouldn't worry, Jack will still be around the periphery in January.

The Jack Benny Program starred Jack Benny and ran on either radio or TV for more than three decades, earning Emmys for more years than not. Jack played one role throughout- as a minimally talented violinist and penny pincher who was always the butt of jokes. His wife, Mary Livingston, was his constant companion on the shows as well as Rochester, his wise-cracking butler. Jacks actual skills with the violin were demonstrated a number of times with guest appearances with symphonies.
