In addition to Frank Nelson, Mel and Benny Rubin, he used Eric Snowden (as "Sherwood"), Elvia Allman (as "Moitle"), Coleen Collins (as "The Baby"), Dick Ryan and Veola Vonn (as the "Romantic Couple"), Herb Vigran and June Earle (as another couple), and Artie Auerbach [he also recorded a "Mr. Kitzel" routine with Jack for this episode, but it was eliminated because the show was running too long].
27:18- ANNOUNCER: "Now, stay tuned for 'THE AMOS 'N' ANDY SHOW', which follows immediately over most of these stations. This is the CBS Radio Network."
