Kenny Baker joined The Jack Benny Program in 1935 as its featured singer, playing a high-voiced, naive young man who often frustrated Benny, and stayed until 1939, when Dennis Day took over. He then sang regularly on Fred Allen's Texaco Star Theater, worked on Blue Ribbon Town and Glamour Manor, and later had programs of his own. He also appeared in a string of film musicals.
