55 04 03 The Jack Benny Program E 05e 14 You Bet Your Life (1955)

Synopsis

Jack is dressed as Little Boy Blue to attend Darryl Zanuck's costume party, to which he wasn't invited. When he reads that Groucho Marx is giving away $3000 on You Bet Your Life, he forgets the party and sets his sites on winning the jackpot. Disguised in a wavy wig and mustache, Jack appears on Groucho's show claiming to be musician Ronald (and sometimes Rodney) Forsythe. In an effort to say the "secret word" (something found in the home) Jack ignores Groucho's questions to name everything he can think of in his house. The question, however, makes "Ronald" squirm: Just how old is that lying bum Jack Benny? Note: This was uploaded previously by someone else. Any comments or corrections are gladly accepted.
