Special guests: The Smothers Brothers.
The Smothers Brothers introduce the show trying to sing “Love in Bloom.” Later, they perform “Boil That Cabbage Down,” “I Don’t Care,” and “I Never Will Marry.”
The sketch is set after a 1944 air raid in London when Jack was entertaining troops at the Palladium. He’s trapped under an unexploded bomb, and he’s discovered by a demolition team, the Brothers. Rather than defuse the bomb, they make him listen to their audition.
After 33 years of broadcasting, this was the last regularly scheduled original episode of Jack Benny’s radio and TV programs to air. “Ladies and gentlemen, that’s the show,” Benny said at the close, laughing alongside the Brothers. “Goodnight folks, and I’ll be seeing you soon.” He made his return to the air on NBC on Nov. 3, 1965, with a new special, The Jack Benny Hour.
