Jack Benny - January 28, 1945 - Ann Sheridan

This wartime episode is performed at Mitchell Field Air Force Base. Larry Stevens is filling in for Dennis Day while he's away in the service. This is a straightforward variety-show episode with a lot of funny moments.

Ann Sheridan shows up as eye candy for the servicemen, and Minerva Pious (from the "rival" Fred Allen show) appears in a sketch as Mrs. Nussbaum, who balks when she sees that her blind date is Jack Benny.
