The Jack Benny Program 148: Main Street Shelter (...

Jack's monologue is on TV channel switchers. In the sketch, Jack returns from a three day hike with the Beverly Hills Beavers to find that Rochester has given an old sports jacket with 200 sewn in the lining to the Main Street Shelter. Jack rushes down to retrieve it, but in his camping clothes and with a three-day beard, he is taken for a transient himself. When he finally gets his 200 back, his 'alter ego' makes him donate it to the Shelter. Guest stars: Benny Rubin (drunk), Sam Hearn, Herb Vigran, Gregory Irvin (unknown), David Foley, Lester Dorr, Harry Tyler, Frank Scannell, Grandon Rhodes, Ralph Moody. First aired 4/9/1961.
