Proof positive for our younger FR members that television comedies actually were funny and fit to watch a lifetime ago. No Rochester but still uproariously funny.

I’m one of those younger FReepers and in the spirit of Jack Benny, I’ll say that I’m 39 years old, and I’ve always found Jack Benny to be uproariously hilarious.

Jack and Groucho, two fun fellas.

Thanks for posting this. My father was a vaudeville/burlesque master magician of comedic bent who met nearly all these people at some point. Fought Red Skelton over a girl they were both after and said neither won the prize LOL. Now we have to look hard to make sure its actually a girl. Simpler times.

I have listened to some years of jack’s radio show (mostly 30s). the material was usually quite good. eddie anderson (rochester) gets a number of good zingers in regularly. the radio show format did have integrated advertisements (jello for the 30s), a band with a 2-3 minute piece mid-show, and a cast of 6-8 or so.

The Jack Benny Show is hilarious.
