Jello again. If you’ve been around since last Christmas, you’ll remember that we aired a Jack Benny Show entitled “An Old-Fashioned Christmas” on December 25, 2024. We aired it out of sequence because it was more appropriate to air on Christmas Day than in September. In that show, which, if it was aired in order, would fit in this week, the feud between Jack Benny and Phil Harris gets resolved. What does not get resolved is how Buck Benny recovers from getting shot. If you wish to listen to that Christmas episode to refresh your memory or if you have not heard it yet, just go to the podcast from December 25, 2024.Episode 238 of The Jack Benny Show.
