Eugene Twombley was really the name of one of the sound effects men on the program, but Mel Blanc plays the part. The last show of the season, the series and the last regularly scheduled weekly Jack Benny radio show, except for repeats. A funny and touching last show. No mention is made that this is the end of the series, primarily because nobody knew it was! American Tobacco Company didn’t make the announcement until the final show had aired. The cast discusses plans for the summer. The two CBS telephone operators appear. The Sportsmen sing the commercial to the tune of, "Bye Bye Baby" (called "Bye, Bye Benny"). More on the ending of the radio show here. https://tralfaz.blogspot.com/2013/04/leaving-behind-radio.html
