Jack Benny Lives!
Jack Benny had a number of running jokes, one of which centered on the fact he was born and grew up in Waukegan, Illinois, north of Chicago, and another, that he had an old Maxwell automobile, that always started with great difficulty, with the sound effects of shuffing and coughing around as the attempt was made. And he was never more than 39 years old.
His sidekick Don Wilson once remarked, “Jack, you could make that 59 years old, and still get laughs!”
And he’s still 39 years old.
