What happens
Jack Benny hosts his comedy program, where his cast trades jokes about the rainy weather, a supposed bank robbery and a frozen car. Mary Livingstone tells Jack a wild story to explain why she is late to rehearsal, and Phil Harris jokes about his band. Jack announces that his guest George Burns will sing a song Jack wrote, but Burns is late arriving at the studio. The episode is from the Jack Benny series, first broadcast on January 20, 1952, with Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris in the leading roles.
Jack Benny's radio comedy program at the studio, with the cast gathered for rehearsal and the broadcast.

Listen for: Jack Benny's exchanges with Mary Livingstone and Phil Harris, and the long wait for George Burns to arrive to sing the song.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
