The 90th Anniversary of Jack Benny

Small trivia of note: May 2, 1932: 90 years ago Jack Benny went on the air for Canada Dry Ginger Ale, beginning his long career in radio. He is pictured here with bandleader, George Olsen, and singer, Ethel Shutta.

"You drink it, like it, and don't wanna hear about it."


Enclosed is a free PDF scan of a Jack Benny radio script from the first month of his radio career, demonstrating his earliest radio efforts over NBC. Enjoy!
