"Jack Benny in 1971"

[sweyhrich]

This show from 11/11/51 is mislabeled on the sites where I have been downloading the Benny shows. Does anyone know of a place where this show actually exists? (Each of the places that has this title is actually the show from the spring of 1952 about Jack getting a haircut).

One place where mislabeled shows are discussed says this show may not exist. Does anyone know if it does?

Thanks!

I haven't been able to find any copies of it.

Too bad. I've always enjoyed seeing what people thought the future would be like, and 1971 isn't far off from when he actually died.

It occurred to me around the time Bob Hope made his last TV specials that he should have done a bit with Brooke Shields (apparently his all-time guest appearance champion) where he'd say,
"You know Brooke, I've been dead for several years, but in show bidness, that's not necessarily bad... so what's new with you?"

And it could have been aired "at a more convenient date and time."

Well the show does exist in at least one place: http://melvyl.cdlib.org:80/F/FB1UFX84I96B8M2DRFHXTEICUSEDTJ5RFUX3152JE9P63C8812-00887?func=full-set-set&set_number=055184&set_entry=000001&format=999

OK. Now someone in LA just needs to go into the special collections room and dub it onto their laptop.
