Description

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

Jack Benny's on-location remote broadcasts always carried an edge of spontaneity. Each performance included plenty of references to a host city's local places, customs and dignitaries, which always brought vigorous cheers. Over the years, he made regular trips to both Palm Springs and New York - to raise money for charitable causes, and to spar with radio rival Fred Allen.

During World War II, Benny and his gang made barnstorming broadcast tours, criss-crossing the country to perform at military bases and veteran's hospitals. Their specially written gags, poking fun at GI bureaucracy and the foibles of officers, met with the wild approval of the predominantly-enlisted crowds.

Join Jack and guests Gary Cooper, Fred Allen, and William Powell, along with series regulars Mary Livingstone, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Eddie Anderson, Mel Blanc, the Sportsmen, and Don Wilson as they hit the road in these 20 digitally remastered and restored episodes.

Includes a Program Guide by radio historian Elizabeth McLeod.
