The Jack Benny Program - $64,000 Question (2/3)

"To show you that there is no trickery, all the questions are sorted out in my IBM machine" and a cement mixer rolls out onto the stage. Jack Benny was the best.

"To make absolutely certain that the questions will remain a secret, the minute the guy finished writing them, we shot him." I laughed so hard.

"We'll never know" gets me every time.

One reason Jack hired Don Wilson to be his announcer when "THE JELL-O PROGRAM" began on radio in 1934 was because of his "hearty laugh"...somewhere along the way, Benny discovered Don was a good actor as well, and captialized on that at times. In fact, Don was the only "supporting" player to regularly appear on Jack's TV shows during the 15 years his series was on {monthly, bi-weekly and finally weekly}. The chorus mentioning "Lucky Strike" during Don and "Harlow's" number is also missing here.

A hearty laugh and a clear voice goes a long way!

Hal March reminds me of Paul Winchell, physically. I hear Don Wilson's laughter at 6:58
