i thought i was the only one who noticed! no one ever brings that up! i mean who has a black man-servant? and the running joke on the tv show is that he's a career bachelor. that must have been what they used to call gays. and the kicker for me was watching jack introduce his guests for next weeks show... his guests will be liberace and rock hudson!

I have no problem with any of the things you mentioned, but I agree, they are no replacement for creativity and intelligence.

And worth every penny. I've listened to both on XM Radio for years, and have found Jack Benny to be much, much funnier. Jack's writers were fantastic, his supporting actors and actresses great, and, of course, there was always Jack's seemingly effortless timing. What a comedian!

I wish that this had been a little longer and included the skits, Phil actually conducting a song with the orchestra and Dennis' song. It's one fabulous clip. Jack and Phil are just hilarious with their witty bantering. It's videos like this that makes me miss the Jack Benny Group more.

You're so right, I wish I was alive back during these years. How far comedy has fallen since!

Wow! No vulgar language, no hostility, no racist comments, no picking on blonds, and in general as friendly an act as you'll find anywhere, and Jack Benny is still funny. Hmmm. Imagine that.

Thanks. This is great! Mary Livingstone, Phil Harris, Dennis Day should be added to the tags.

Jack was not cheapBob Hope was cheapwhen Bob Hope was paying his writers $50 to $100 a weekJack Benny was paying his writers $1,000 a week

This script was written by Bill Morrow & Ed Beloin, Jack's key writers between 1939 and '43- his stable of writers were among the best in the business, and he paid them very well...
