64 10 30 The Jack Benny Program S 15e 06 Hillbilly Sketch (1964)

Synopsis

In his monologue, Jack confesses that his producer has been using raffle tickets to get the audience members to stay in their seats through the end of the show. Jack and guest Connie Francis argue about whether it's harder to sing or to get laughs. Francis sings "I Was Born Too Late," and a medley of Al Jolson tunes ("Swanee," "Mammy," and "April Showers"). Don does the Alka-Seltzer commercial as an endorsement by a safe-cracker. In the sketch, Jack heads the hillbilly Skinner family who live in a cabin in the Ozarks. His wife (Connie) agrees that they should explain the facts of life to their son, 28-year-old Clem (Dale). Cousin Shem (Don) is in agreement. They perform a parody of "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter." Note: This was uploaded previously by someone else. Any comments or corrections are gladly accepted.
