AbbyMcCloud, because twits like you need to shut your mouth, quit your entitled sounding whining and learn something that isn't regurgitated by such mind dead celebrities as the Kardashians or Miley Cyrus. Your inability to be educated gracefully speaks to your vast ignorance, so don't waste more time defending your lack of enlightenment... CHANGE it!

SlyGourmand85526, In a radio skit once a mugger accosted him and demanded “your money or your life!” Benny was quiet for a moment when the mugger asked “Well?” Benny replied, “I’m thinking!” The sustained laughter that followed from the audience was/is the longest in broadcasting history!

I greatly enjoy watching shows like his, Milton Berle, Burns and Allen, because these shows were the beginnings of TV and how real comedy developed. My favorite is the Burns and Allen show, which is hard to find. If you get a chance to watch it, I recommend it.

Songbird55, I always loved that look he would give - staring out into the audience with a sardonic expression. He was hilarious!

I just love watching his old TV program- “the Jack Benny show”!!
If anyone interested it is on Antenna
TV early AM-4:30 ! But worth watching or recording it !!

...see the connection with the Marx Brothers as they were all musically talented;
especially Harpo who was an accomplished self-taught harpist amongst other things....

Jack was from my home town, where there is a middle school named after him! He opened it in 1962.

Hilarious on-going “feud” with Fred Allen during the 40’s on radio. Odd, Benny made a successful transition to TV, but Allen did not and he was so much funnier. “It’s in the Bag” (1945) much better than any of Benny’s movies.
