Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis - Colgate Comedy Hour Jack Benny appears - Part 4

Now here's a strange one. Jack Benny appearing on the Martin and Lewis Colgate Comedy hour seems like a match made in heaven. Trouble is for some reason; Jack Benny isn't given a script and just appears. There must be a story behind this...

The suits are very nice! Just a phenomenal act! NYC was a completely different city back in 1950s.

Comedians rarely make me laugh, but Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in front of a live audience always, always do.

I wonder if Jack Benny was under contract to CBS and couldn't appear on NBC under his name and perform.

martin and lewis did a cameo on jack benny’s show. my guess this is was an exchange. frequently ‘requested’ by NBC

[@martinlewis2279]

I wonder if this was Jack Benny's idea of a joke. It kind of seems like it. Either way I think they should have done something else.

What's the song that Dean sings at the beginning?

[@pgh45rpms]

"Mambo Italiano", a hit song in 1954.
