Radio Daze: Jack Benny Does “Snow White” And “The Hound Of The Baskervilles” For Your Old Radio Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! Welcome to another edition of Radio Daze! In honor of Disney’s release of the new “Snow White” film, I thought it would be fun to feature Jack Benny’s take on the classic film. From 1938, Jack Benny and his gang put on a riotus version of the classic Disney tale titled “Snow White And The Seven Gangsters.” It’s one of the Jell-O era’s funniest offerings and features one of the longest sustained laughs from the audience in radio history (you’ll know it when you hear it.) A few months later, Jack and the gang performed their version of Sherlock Holmes “The Hound Of The Baskervilles.” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle probably wasn’t figuring on this type of adaptation of his work. Both shows will tickle your funny bone! Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
