Bed in the middle of the room? Would that work? Doesn't seem restful, somehow.

Does this remind anyone of the Donald Duck cartoon with the drip or it just me???

That would date this show from Deceember 1952 with the reference to President Truman leaving office on January 20th. Great comedy here. Rochester is awesome!

Jack: "did ya watch the show, how'd ya like it?"

Rochester: "I thought it was excellent."

Jack: "what??"

Rochester: "excellent!!"

reference joke to the opening monologue.

Ya gotta love Rochester :)

oh yes...I loved the character and I also liked the way the writer's and Jack himself structured the show...the way they wrote the characters as all hating and despising Jack for various reasons. i have a few of Jack's radio shows and there was once a gimmick called the "I Can't Stand Jack Benny Because...." contest. On the air Jack pretended to be offended and insulted and then became agitated when Don announced that the winning entry would be read on the air by Fred Allen.

That was a clever gimmick and really shows what a humble man Jack could be. Thank you for commenting :)

Roch actually said "execrable" the first time, then corrected himself the second time.
