Shari Lewis Show The Jack Benny Program : Season 12 Episode 21

Jack is in his office, having his hair cut by Rochester. Freddie de Cordova tells Benny there are too many acts in his annual variety show, so there is no time for Shari Lewis. Jack is notary public for the building, and models underwear for a Midwestern catalog. Two window-washers who appear to be making a pass at his secretaries actually just want some Lipton Tea. When Shari and Lambchop arrive, Shari is so charming and enthusiastic, Jack can't bear to tell her he has to cancel her. The choreographer comes in and needs a piano player to help him make a point; Shari volunteers. Eventually it is revealed that she plays the piano, dances, sings and does magic, changing a one dollar bill into a two dollar bill, so it is cheaper to hire her and get rid of all the other acts. She and Jack play "Alabammy Bound" on piano and violin. Shari also plays the violin and is a notary public.
