This was during the final season of the "GRAPE-NUTS PROGRAM" (General Foods, Jack's sponsor, replaced "Jell-O" with "Grape-Nuts" in the fall of 1942 because the shortage of sugar during World War II limited Jell-O's availability). The script is by Sam Perrin, Milt Josefsberg, George Balzer and John Tackaberry. Butterfly McQueen appears as "Butterfly"; John Brown [who had previously been a part of Fred Allen's cast] is "Mr. Brown"; Frank Nelson, of course, is "The Floorwalker"....
Thank heavens KFI in Los Angeles preserve so much programming I’mForever indebted to them for that

Let's not forget Dennis Day is in it too! I really like his character, very funny.
Benny is the king
Wow, this must be at the dawn of Frank Nelson's character. Not nearly as exaggerated as it later became.
Carthaginian60 Good observation!
