"Jack Benny"

Funny is funny. There are no age barriers. When I was a kid we used to watch and laugh at Jack Benny, The Three Stooges, and all the other well-known comedians many of whom were thirty-sixty years older than me. I find it strange that many young people today will not watch anyone not much older than themselves. I don't know if young people (usually males) today still watch the Stooges. I remember one time in the nineties talking to some young people at work and mentioning John Belushi. One them, who was about twenty years old, asked me who he was.

Jack Benny was one of the great ones.

His humor was often, tho not always a bit subtle. Something today’s kids just would not appreciate.
