Special guests: Dick Powell, Tony Martin, Fred MacMurray, Kirk Douglas, and Dan Dailey.
In the monologue, Jack reads the newspaper reviews of critics who liked his season premiere, while skipping the ones who did not. For Don’s middle commercial, Jack insists he skip rope while singing the Lucky Strike jingle. Jack then hurries home for his weekly jam session with Tony (on clarinet), Fred (saxophone), Dick (trumpet), Dan (drums), and Kirk (banjo). They avail themselves of the coin-operated vending machines in Jack’s living room [including the one stocked with his sponsor’s cigarettes]. The band plays “Basin Street”, but Kirk keeps going into “Bye Bye Blues”, the only song he knows.
