# 57 12 15 The Jack Benny Program S 08e 07 Christmas Shopping Show

This is the TV debut of Jack's traditional Christmas shopping radio show. Jack and Rochester go looking for gifts at a department store. Jack harasses clerk Mel Blanc, repeatedly have him re-wrap the wallet he bought for Don because he wants to change the card inside. After changing it one too many times, Blanc, now a wreck, loads a pistol and shoots himself. Jack has several arguments with surly floorwalker Frank Nelson, especially after smashing a new "unbreakable" watch with a hammer. He buys lingerie from a clerk too unnerved by nighties to touch them with his bare hands. Note: This was uploaded previously by someone else. I re-uploaded it in the interest of correcting airdates, season and episode notation and correct titles as found in well known episode guides. Any comments or corrections are gladly accepted.
