Jack Benny USO Show Cairo Egypt


(4 stars; 3 reviews)

Jack Benny USO Show from Cairo, Egypt on September 13, 1943. Not sure if this was broadcast on AFRS?

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

A fun program

This was a step away from the norm for NBC. This program was actually broadcast over network radio via shortwave live in the states. (Note that Jack mentions it is three in the morning in Cairo.) A great treat for Benny fans and WW2 history buffs alike.
