Jack Benny, originally broadcast June 16, 1940, 83 years ago, Fathers day. Last show of the season. Jack gets angry at the idea that "Henry Aldrich" will replace him for the summer.

I'm done fighting with my doctors. A variety of health issues have led me to a decision that I hoped I wouldn't have to make for a couple of more years.

Classic Radio Theater will end June 30, 2023.

I want to thank everyone who made this show possible over the years. I know it's only about three weeks for stations to make alternate programming arrangements, but it's a choice that I had to make. I'm nearing 70 years of age, and the grind of producing these shows is just too much.

It has been my honor and pleasure to serve you these past eight years.
