58 09 21 The Jack Benny Program S 09e 01 Gary Cooper Show

1958

In the season premiere, guest star Gary Cooper sings "Bird Dog" with the Sportsmen Quartet. Jack visits Cooper at a rehearsal of his next film, a western, to audition for the part of Gary's twin brother. Decked out in a ridiculous cowboy outfit and six-inch elevator shoes, Jack (aka Tex Morgan) swaggers in, sure he'll win the part. Benny changes his mind once he sees the scene he'd be in: a rowdy barroom brawl where his character gets beaten up. In the epilogue, Benny introduces Cooper's wife and daughter in the studio audience. Note: This was uploaded previously by someone else.
