March 2, 1941 – The Jack Benny show is on location in Palm Springs. They spend some time swimming then go on a hike with an “Indian” guide to Taquitz Falls. Let’s just say the true history of the Navajo people is much more dynamic than the joke characterization in this episode.
March 5, 1939 – Just after “The Richest Horse Race in the World” the Santa Anita Handicap, Jack and the gang discuss the bets they placed. Then they continue their 2-part play Jesse James.
March 8, 1936 – Jack and the gang switch parts in this episode. However the sound quality is so bad after all these years you might be better off listening to an episode from the 1950s. In that episode they mention the 1930s Buck Rogers movie serials.
March 8, 1953 – Jack and the gang parody the movie “The Snows of Kilimanjaro”. Plus Buck Rogers was re-released, Hank Williams has a hit song, and Marilyn Monroe’s famous calendar.
March 12, 1939 – Don Wilson celebrates his anniversary. Jack Benny got polar bear for his birthday and it is sick. Carmichael is Sick, they reference the new movie Pygmalion (1938), and on the cover of Radio Guide Jack trains to fight Fred Allen.
