JACK BENNY PROGRAM, THE: JACK PAAR SHOW (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series starring Jack Benny. On this program, Benny's guest is Jack Paar. In his opening monologue, Benny speaks about the ongoing quiz show investigations. To conform to CBS's new policy of honesty, Benny admits that he is not really thirty-nine. Next, Jack Paar tries to induce Benny to become a guest host on "Tonight" and leads him to a replica of his set. Benny and Paar spoof the many commercials that appear in the late-night show. Benny says that he will take over on "Tonight" if he can have Charley Weaver as his sidekick. The deal falls through when Dennis Day is caught impersonating Weaver. Includes commercials.
