Subject:  the Allen-NBC flap

Critic Jack Gould, in the April 27, 1947 edition of the New York Times,
reported that Allen's show was cut off for 25 seconds as apparent retaliation
for a satire of NBC censors on Allen's program of April 20 that year. When
Bob Hope and Red Skelton referred to the incident on their shows, they also
were cut off the air by NBC, Gould wrote.

I've never been able to find that show; any suggestions?
