In Volume Three of Jack Benny's Lost Broadcasts, (25 episodes from October 30, 1932 to January 26, 1933), Benny and scriptwriter Harry Conn face upheaval on every front. Sponsor Canada Dry moves them to a new network (CBS) and different broadcast nights (Thursdays at 8:15pm and Sundays at 10:00 pm). New bandleader Ted Weems and songstress Andrea Marsh take the place of George Olsen and Ethel Shutta, but Mary Livingstone's role expands. Canada Dry insists that Sid Silvers join the cast as writer and stooge, and demands that the show narrative change to have Jack become a frustrated Broadway producer. After several weeks, Benny, Conn and Livingstone rebel. The sponsor backs down, and the show revives the comic banter, movie parodies and humorous ads that had made Benny famous. Until the rug is pulled out from under them.
