OTR Holiday Month Day 19: Suspense

When it comes to old-time radio, what do I like more than Jack Benny? Well, Suspense is one. But to craft a connection between the two shows, what could be better than the December 21, 1950 episode of Suspense: "A Christmas for Carol" starring Dennis Day! Like so many of the comedians who appeared on Suspense, Dennis was given a chance to demonstrate he could handle dramatic material and he does very well - I think it's hands-down the best Christmas show Suspense ever produced and in 20 years on the air they made quite a few.
