OTRR Day In The Life Of Dennis Day Singles

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF DENNIS DAy by Patrick Andre Born Eugene Patrick McNulty, Dennis Day would get his start in 1939 on the Jack Benny Program . Day replaced the show’s previous tenor, Kenny Baker, who left for The Fred Allen Show . At first, Day was mainly a singer with few lines and a short studio contract. But his character as an Irish kid with a head full of air quickly developed and became popular with listeners. While Day maintained his role on Benny’s program, A Day in the Life of Dennis Day was developed. In April of 1946 an audition episode of a situation-comedy featuring Day was created and Colgate-Palmolive signed on as the sponsor. The sponsor pushed for wide exposure and the series premiered October 3, 1946, a month later than scheduled. Jack Benny and Don Wilson were the guests on the first show, which was about how Dennis got his own radio program. This is the Single Episodes Page. The Maintained Set includes extras not found here.
