Jack Benny - Christmas Party (1961) [colourised]

Originally aired 24th December 1961. (S12 E10)

To prove he's not a cheapskate, Jack throws a Christmas party for his cast and crew; he even hands out surprise gifts. Frank Nelson, there with his "wife," finds Benny's sudden looseness with money suspicious and uncovers the secret behind Jack's sudden generosity. Don Wilson conducts an applause test of three Santa Clauses for the Lipton Tea commercial.
In the warm finale, the regulars gather around a Christmas tree and welcome Mel Blanc, making his first appearance since his near-fatal car accident. He exchanges a few quips with Jack and does some of the voices he's performed on the show including Sy and Professor LeBlanc.
