Which U.S. TV icon was famous for always claiming to be thirty nine years old on every birthday?
Correct answer: Jack Benny
Player #2445171
Once, in a skit, Benny was held up at gunpoint with the robber demanding “your money or your life!” A moment of silence followed with the criminal asking “Well?” To which Benny calmly replied, “I’m thinking, I’m thinking!” The ensuing response from the live studio audience set a record for the longest sustained laughter in broadcast history!
