The Finale That Never Was (BONUS)

June 3, 2026 - No Soap Radio presents an "The Finale That Never Was"  original Jack Benny script written by Craig Shemin.

When Jack Benny retired from radio in 1955 no farewell episode was ever produced. Craig has remedied that with our version in which Jack says goodbye to his radio audience. The usual cast of characters make appearances along with a number of guest stars including George Burns and Gracie Allen. The episode was produced, directed and edited by Paul Kovit of No Soap Radio.
