Goodreads defaults to William A. Henry III as the author, but he's just one of the contributors. The title page just says "The Museum of Television and Radio.
I'm on a Jack Benny tear. This is an excellent overview of his life and career, with the emphasis on CAREER. Synopsises (spelling?) of many radio and TV shows, plus a complete radio script and TV script. Lots of photos and several articles about different aspects. Also a commentary about Jell-O's sponsorship, as Jell-O underwrote an exhibit at the Museum.
Also am reading several other Jack Benny books and listening to his radio shows. Great fun!
