Switching Parts (Clip)
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.
Snows of Kilimanjaro (1936 Clip)
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.
Carmichael is Sick
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.
Embassy Banquet (I Love to Singa)
March 15, 1936 – One of the better early episodes of Jack Benny. Broadcasting from Washington DC they talk politics and banter. Then Jack goes to a banquet at the French Embassy. Plus the comic strip “Bringing up Father”, and my favorite 1936 cartoon where the gong show host is Jack Bunny “I Love to Singa”.
