This portrait was taken by CBS for Bob's upcoming appearance on The Jack Benny Show, April 1, 1951. Nice photo. He should have taken that CBS photographer back with him to NBC.

Jack Benny Show is great...wish I could find clips of this episode!
Now I need to try to find this episode or at least parts of it on YouTube!
I have tried to find that episode, to no avail. Do let us know if you find it, Allison. I just happen to have an order out for the reprint photo with the episode's cast. Not quite as good as seeing it....
Twas not a fan of Benny during his movie career, but grew to really like the older Benny. A really funny guy. Enjoyed his appearances on Johnny Carson. Great classic humor.
Is this the radio or TV show? Guess I was assuming TV but the radio program was still in tge air.
Yeah cannot find by tv or radio. Looks like Claudette Colbert and Basil Rathbone were in it and even searching by their names with Jack, no luck. Urgh, I hate to think old footage like this is lost to history
We're talking about the TV Show. I know it's not lost entirely. Benny left his papers and his collection of TV shows to UCLA. The Film & Television Archive has the shows, and this one is listed. I don't know if they have the rights to show them publicly, and viewing is probably limited to research purposes for staff/students. So, it exists, sort of.
