What happens
Jack Benny broadcasts his show from the Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, trading jokes with Don Wilson and Phil Harris about the city, its hills, and the cost of crossing the bay. Rita Hayworth stops by in place of Mary Livingstone, who has a cold, and Larry Adler plays harmonica. Governor Earl Warren also joins the broadcast, and Jack invites him to a reception that evening. This is an episode of the Jack Benny series, first aired on May 20, 1945, on NBC and CBS Radio, with Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris in the lead roles.

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.
