About

Jack Benny's first TV broadcast, from 28 October 1950. Jack's TV programs were only once every eight weeks in his first year, and he traveled from California to New York to do them.

Ken Murray's program was preempted for this broadcast, and he makes an appearance to wish Jack good luck on TV. Also appearing with Jack in his TV debut are radio regulars Don Wilson, the Sportsmen Quartet, Mel Blanc, Artie "Mr Kitzel" Auerbach, and Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, who gets an impressive song-and-dance number. The guest star is Dinah Shore, who would come back in 1970 to appear in Jack Benny's 20th Anniversary Special.

Some kinescope imperfections and video artifacts, but a clear image. With original Lucky Strike commercials.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
