OTR Comedies: The Jack Benny Show

Jack Benny Show -- Dinner at the Colman's

When Jack receives a dinner invitation from Ronald and Benita Colman, he is quick to attend. The problem is, the invite was not meant for him.

This hilarious episode introduced the Colmans, Benny's very proper nextdoor neighbors. The joke is that Ronald Colman is horrified by the things he sees going on next door, but is too much the proper gentleman to say anything.  Except to his long suffering wife, Benita.  

This hilarious episode will help you understand why the Colmans became series regulars.

Featuring: Jack Benny, Ronald Colman, Benita Hume (Mrs. Colman), Mary Livingston, Dennis Day, Phil Harris, Don Wilson, Rochester.                 

Original broadcast date:  12/9/45 on NBC.
