- This episode focuses on the feud between Benny and Fred Allen. After the discussion turns to which one could take the other in a fight, Jack, Mary and Rochester drive out to Andy Devine's farm so that Jack can train there.
The feud was fake, of course. Benny and Allen got along fine, and mllked the feud for laughs for many years.

lookiing back,as we do, we realize what a blessing Jack and his kind have been to mankind and indeed,the whole of humanity! I thank God for all the entertainers who taught us to laugh and what to laugh at.
Thank you for putting this out there , especially for the one's who love our Grace I won't be Burnt.
Fun stuff...love these old radio shows!...thankyou
The Jack Benny OTR is my favorite of all the Old Time Radio programs. I compare the uniqueness of the characters, the writing, storytelling and the actors to my favorite TV Comedy Show, Seinfeld.
I agree all the characters come together as one unit, they could be their own show within a show.Strongest as a whole of course, but we are so drawn into all the individuals and how they react towards each other..
Frank Nelson is totally Newman.
Jack Benny’s shows are my favorite of all OTR programs.
Love, love, love @ 9:00, Umbrella Man by Phil Harris and his orchestra! The things you learn by listening to old shows.
the zaniest middle commercial I've heard so far you really have to listen to enough of these shows to get the running gags and characterisations the Fred Allen feud is a perfect example the fact that Eddie Anderson was comfortable with a few harmless jokes about skin color says a lot about how far we have not come on issues of race
john tabler I love Rochester. sometimes I feel bad for him in how he was more a servant then an equal but at the same time they made him a great character. one that makes really helps make the show what it is. so it evens out.
A few listeners, however, did not appreciate him punching Jack out, and sent angry letters to him saying, in effect, "How DARE you allow a Negro to punch you in the face??". Jack didn't like their attitude.
Love this.
I'm proud for Rochester in this one. glad he at least got a good punch in.
Aren't these Grrrr8.
Who dont love jack Benny
I guess Dennis Day would come into the later shows as their crooner.
He served in WWII , Kenny Baker I believe was his replacement until he got back.
Dennis didn't join the program until October 1939, after Kenny left to become Fred Allen's vocalist for a while. When Dennis was drafted by the Navy in 1944, Larry Stevens replaced him until Dennis returned in March 1946.
