Everyone knows that Jack Webb played Sgt. Joe Friday on Dragnet on both radio and TV. Dragnet was just the most popular show in a wide variety of them that Webb was a part of.

I want to present some of the more obscure work that Webb did.

Jack Webb Show April 10, 1946 The Razor, Misery Hour

After serving as crewmember on a B-25 Maurader bomber during World War II, Webb, a native of Los Angeles, settled in San Francisco and began working for KGO radio. He worked as an announcer and fill in until he got a break with his first show One Out of Seven - a docudrama speaking out against racism. His second starring vehicle was the Jack Webb Show a quirky comedy show that featured zany humor and dixieland jazz. This is one of two Jack Webb Shows known to be in existence.
