Part 2 The Jack Benny Show with Marilyn Monroe [1953]

On September 13, 1953 The Jack Benny Show episode with Marilyn Monroe aired on CBS. I really enjoy this episode! Marilyn is such a sweetheart and did a great job singing. The description from Honolulu Trip Jack tells the audience about the trip he took with Rochester to Hawaii when a travelogue announcer takes over the story. On the return cruise home, Jack encounters “Dr. Masters“ (of sex study fame) and Mr. Kitzel. Falling asleep in a deck chair, Jack dreams the heavyset woman beside him is Marilyn Monroe and that she finds him irresistible. He proposes but she’s concerned about their age difference. She coos the song “Bye Bye, Baby“ to Jack and agrees to meet him for dinner. He chases after her, being awakened by a huge kiss from the chubby woman. In the epilogue, Jack thanks Marilyn for making her TV debut with him, and plugs her new movie How to Marry a Millionaire. Jack mentions his infamous film, The Horn Blows at Midnight.
