The Jack Benny Program #136: Don's 27th Anniversary With Jack (Season 11, Episode 13)

Jack honors Don Wilson on the occasion of his 27th year working with Jack. The sketch relates how Don and Jack met: Jack's radio sponsor, the Universal Corset Co., holds auditions for an announcer for Jack's program, and Don is the only one who laughs at Jack's bad jokes.

The Sportsmen sing "Down Yonder". Guest stars: Leonid Kinskey (Sir Gay Finskey), Nancy Kulp (Teacher), Howard McNear (Mr. Willoby), Roy Rowan (Himself), Bill Baldwin, John Daly (Himself).
