What happens
Jack Benny is buried under a flood of listener letters completing the sentence "I can't stand Jack Benny because", a contest his press agent forced on him. Phil Harris, Rochester and the rest of the cast deal with the mail pile, a visiting mailman and a dispute over whose letter is whose. Don Wilson calls with a tobacco joke, and Benny's Christmas shopping list is discussed. This is the Jack Benny Program, broadcast on NBC and CBS Radio in December 1945, with Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris in the lead roles. Guest Louella Parsons appears with the contest details and a gossip report from Hollywood.
Jack Benny's home and office, where the mail for the contest has piled up.

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.
