"Throughout the 1940s Benny's popularity continued to grow. During World War II he contributed tirelessly to the war effort by selling war bonds and by entertaining the troops both at home and abroad. His experiences performing on the Armed Forces Radio System led him to quicken his delivery, and after the war Benny, who was a perfectionist in preparing his routines and an excellent editor of his own material, developed a slicker program with greater emphasis on comic situations."
I applaud his war efforts but, to me, it’s what people do when they don’t think they’re being watched. Again, what Benny, Burns and Jeb’s wife did was a cheesy move. According to the article, the judge was pretty aggravated and gave Benny a chance to explain himself. Benny only mumbled.
