Jack Benny program (Television program). 1961-04-02, Variety show

Benny presents Ann-Margret, but George Burns walks out instead. Benny claims to have discovered Ann-Margret on Burns' Las Vegas show, but Burns demands to be able to introduce her himself. She sings I ain't got nobody. Benny chats with her: she comes from Wilmette, Illinois, near Waukegan (eliciting a lengthy autobiography from Benny) and is a sophomore at Northwestern, majoring in geriatrics. Burns reminds Benny that he promised her a beautiful park scene in which to sing Have a good time, so Benny produces a park bench with two people on it that he found in Griffith Park. She sings. Burns comes out again, and Benny tries to kick him off-stage; first, Burns wants Benny to help him settle a bet he made with Groucho Marx that Benny would look just like Benjamin Franklin if he dressed up like him--and he does! "He was a good American, too, wasn't he?," says Benny. "Now go fly a kite," says Burns. For the Lipton tea commercial, Don Wilson brings out the two people who were on Benny's park bench; they are getting married tomorrow because they have discovered they have so much in common, including the fact that both drink Lipton Tea; however, when they discover she likes lemon and he likes milk, they quarrel and break up. Jack introduces Francis Brunn, a juggler, who does his act; Benny tries to join the act and ends up leaving on a stretcher.
