Jack Benny Show Easter With Basil Rathbone. Original Air Date Was 04/30/1950. Yes, after ten years, Gerenal Foods [Jell-O (1934-'42)/Grape-Nuts (1942-'44)] decided to end their sponsorship of the Benny program {one reason was due to a shortage of sugar, needed to manufacture those products- it was rationed during World War II}, and the choice of a new sponsor for the fall of 1944 came down to two choices: Campbell Soups, and American Tobacco. Jack went with American...and Lucky Strike sustained him on radio through 1955, and TV through 1959.
