 I'm Greg Bell, and we open with a hit comedy series headed up by quite possibly radio's biggest star. And then later we'll visit with the couple next door. Well, there's simply no doubt that the Jack Benny program is one of the greatest shows of all time. A huge influence to generations who would follow. For example, there likely wouldn't be a Johnny Carson without first a Jack Benny. But Jack was wise enough to not go it alone. He surrounded himself with an impressive team of writers and supporting cast members. And this episode highlights how Benny first met a future co-star, not only on the air, but in real life as well.
