Jack Benny -- Jack Listens to mean Old Man on Radio

From March 21, 1954 — Jack tunes in his living-room radio and gets hooked on a soapy serial about a cantankerous, miserly old codger who terrorizes everyone around him. The trouble is, that mean old man on the radio sounds awfully familiar — tight with a dollar, allergic to gift-giving, perpetually 39. A sly bit of self-parody from one of the greatest comedy casts in radio history: Jack, Mary, Rochester, Dennis, Don, and the rest of the gang on The Lucky Strike Program.
