Jack Benny's TV show was great! Still fresh and funny after all these years.

My favorite recurring character was the racetrack tout.

No, wait. Maybe it was that salesman guy.

Was it Jack Benny or Bob Hope who had the walk on gardener named Rocky Roccoco? or some other show?

Was Benny’s salesman guy the model for the department store floor walker who makes occasional appearances on “The Simpsons”? He speaks with an exaggeratedly snooty accent. Homer once asked him, “Why do you talk like that?” “I had a stroke,” was his plummy response.
